Last State

About the Game

Last State is a hardcore text-based survival simulation about planning, scarcity and consequences. You are alone in a post-collapse wilderness where every trip, fire, meal, injury and night can decide whether your run continues or ends.

This is not a relaxing survival sandbox. It is a slow, punishing survival run for players who enjoy mastering complex systems.

Perfect For Fans Of

• Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead for harsh survival decisions

• NEO Scavenger for desperate scavenging and risk

• UnReal World for wilderness survival depth

• Project Zomboid for long-term planning and consequence

• Traditional roguelikes, text-heavy simulations and permadeath runs

The world didn't end with a bang. It ended with a whisper.

Decades after the collapse of civilization, nature has reclaimed the earth. Cities lie buried beneath vines and roots. The old world is gone, swallowed by an endless, untamed wilderness. You are a child of this new world, born into the quiet, raised in the shadow of ruins.
