Hey guys, The Dead Linger by Sandswept Studios has made its debut on Steam after being only on the developer's website for a long time.

It has recently been ported to the Unity engine, and is in a true EARLY EARLY alpha state.

Seriously at the moment it is rather difficult to play due to bugs and such from the porting just being finished, but hotfixes are being released over the weekend, and updates come often.

If you are curious of if this is just another Day Z clone or something, just note a few things.

1: Procedurally generating world

2: Freeform barricading

3: No special zombies.

4: Infection system.

5: The devs are nice, open, and communicative

6: Day Z is more PvP focused while TDL has a development focused more on cooperation against the zombies.
