Zombies? Check. Complex puzzles? Check. Suspiciously convenient notes? You’d better believe that’s a check.

Today, two-person team Dead Drop Studios is excited to launch Outbreak: Contagious Memories across across Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4/5 and PC via Steam.
Inspired by classics of the survival horror genre like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, and like a brain burger with extra cheese, Outbreak: Contagious Memories is a true zombie B-movie game for the modern era.
The end of the world is nigh, and surviving it is going to take brains. In Outbreak: Contagious Memories, players step into the shoes of Lydia, one of the leftovers following a contagious virus that leaves the infected with an insatiable hunger for – you guessed it – human flesh. After being knocked unconscious, Lydia awakens in an abandoned warehouse as fellow survivors debate leaving her behind. Not one to be left helpless, Lydia takes charge, forging a path through crafty environmental puzzles and hordes of the undead to figure out a way for her and her fellow survivors to escape the city.Outbreak: Contagious Memories is a massive step forward for a long running series by horror-obsessed developer duo Evan and Julia Wolbach, inspired by the games they loved in the 90’s. As a result, Outbreak: Contagious Memories pays homage to, and builds on, classic tropes such as resource management, clever puzzles, and conveniently located notes that explain the game’s lore in oddly specific detail!Outbreak: Contagious Memories drops players right in the middle of a zombie apocalypse and invites them to fend for themselves, but not without a little help. Thanks to full support for 3rd person, 1st person and fixed camera angles, players can experience fear however they please. The game also features full co-op integration so that players can experience the nightmare with a friend by their side. [Continues below]

Outbreak: Contagious Memories continues the legacy of Dead Drop’s long-running series in a whole new way, featuring tighter controls, a highly customizable visual experience, modern graphics with a suitably 90’s aesthetic, and support for all major platforms.

Evan Wolbach, Founder of Dead Drop Studios said: “Outbreak: Contagious Memories is the realization of my goal that started the series: create a true spiritual successor to ’90s survival horror games where intricate puzzle solving and intense combat come together. A true homage to the genre, you’ll find cheesy voiceovers, cutscenes, gory combat, intense resource management and crushing difficulty. This has been expertly married with a visual style ripped straight from the ’90s and coated with next-gen flourishes modern gamers will appreciate.”

Outbreak: Contagious Memories launches today on Xbox S|X, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, and Steam, priced $29.99 / £22.99 / €27.99.
