The world’s collapse and the origins of the Infected are still being developed. For now, the focus is on survival systems and giving players freedom in how they play.
The Infected is in active Early Access development. Some features are still being added and balanced, and you may encounter bugs or performance issues. We’re a small team building this game with the help of community feedback. If you’re looking for a complete experience, you may wish to wait. However, if you want to help shape the development, we welcome you now!
The aim is to deliver a feature-rich survival crafting game with more systems and player choice than most of the genre. Survival can mean farming, base-building, or facing hostile AI — the choice is yours.

A lot like 7-days to die but this came first. You don't level up, you have to explore to get upgrade perks. Really fun survival mechanics; eat,drink, sleep. Really enjoyed this game. Anti-jump scare? Turn off zombies in the world-setting to make this a mellow crafting game with some wild animals as the only enemy. Really addictive and enjoyable.
The running and walking is bugged or glitched along with the camera movement could be fixed. A little creepy when it looks like a person pops in front of you the just disappears when AI is off, anyone have same issue?

This and every other Pro feature is free until October 20, 2026. A free account is all it takes.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,419 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Disappointing, boring mess
This game this a mix of The Forest, 7 Days to Die but no story mode for now. That's why I would set this game to B-Tier list of singleplayer openworld-survival-craft games.
This game is in early access and it does NOT deserve to be at that price, even if it's on sale it is too expensive. I tried to play this and have fun with it but it is too complex. 7 Days To Die is better than this. This game needs to be free on early access... no story or guide. In the beginning you need to figure out things yourself as the game tells you what item to build but you need 10 other things to build 1 thing... that is a horrible start. Infected enemies just look like more human like, not vambies like... They have weapons that whack you for a little damage but it still looks horrible.
Different take on the survival zombie genre. Barely worth the minimal amount I paid for it. However, uninteresting, so not worth the effort to learn.
Игра топчик, не хватает только кооперативки.
the building mechanics are good. I enjoy playing ty
Атмосферная игра, строительство очень увлекательное!
Da ich vorher The forest und sons of the forest gespielt hatte, hoffte ich hier auf eine adäquate Herausforderung. Wer craften und bewirtschaften liebt ist hier richtig. Was mir fehlte war eine abschließende Herausforderung, für die man sich halt wappnet vorher. Ist aber nicht. Schade, hab ich erst sehr spät herausgefunden. Bis dahin war es durchaus unterhaltsam.
