Aren comes home to Shadowvale to find his daughter Mira missing and the village overrun. He has one bow, a finite line of sight, and a night that will not end on its own.

Draw, aim, release. Body shots slow a zombie down; only a headshot puts one down for good. Every arrow you rush is an arrow you spend, and the horde does not wait for you to steady your hand.

Five stages take you from the village gate through the street, the church, the outer yard and the last barricade — each one with something waiting that the last one did not have.

Features

Headshots or nothing

Drag to draw, aim and release. A body shot only slows them. Precision under pressure is the whole game.

Three ways to play

Campaign for the story across five stages, Endless for waves that never stop, and Nightfall — where the dark is the real enemy.

Four kinds of dead

Shambling Walkers, sprinting Runners, hard-hitting Brutes, and armoured Guards with one exposed throat to find.

Steady to Merciless

Three difficulty levels, so the story is reachable and the challenge still has a ceiling worth climbing.

How to play

  • Drag back from the bow to draw the arrow
  • Move to aim — the further you draw, the flatter and faster the shot
  • Release to fire. Only headshots kill
