I just received my Beta testers key for this and fuck! It's addictive as meth. Some screens

Just wondering if anyone else has a Beta key or knows any info about this game. I will be happy to answer any questions, but I've only been playing an hour or so.
Fuck academic work, I WILL SURVIVE! (anyone who knows me knows I am obsessed with the Post Apocalypse genre)

    Is it mostly text-based?

    How long for a key? About a week? I forgot about the email until yesterday.

    Text based? Well it's mostly point 'n' click, incorporating a turn-based move. Like you can only walk so far on a journey before having to click "Go" again as you have to increase your team's stamina etc. Pretty well designed.

    Ah I see. Looked text-based from the screenies. I've been wanting a good casual text-based game to play for awhile, but I'll check this one out :)

    So is it truly a "survival" game or do you kill lots of shit too?

    It's a bit of both from what I can gather. In moving through neighbourhoods to survive and scavenge, plus finding other survivors/factions, you kill zombies with weapons you have

    Also I have a Beta invite (just the 1) if anyone wants it now. PM me your email and I can send it. First come, first serve.

    Taylor Swift is the most beautiful talented person ever. A goddess, she should be canonized after her death.

    I found a kid to add to my squad! Also built my 2nd safehouse and have a fucking epic arsenal of shotguns, pistols, assault rifles and melee weapons. Now to chill and recover my fatigue/fear levels :cool:

    And if we are staying with music, remember that kid I found? Well time to lock him in my safehouse.

    Most online games that are free have an item shop to use real money to buy items but i have rarely heard of one that requires you to buy items to win, in 99% of the cases buying items just helps you win faster. The reason for this is because a free game has to generate revenue to stay alive it costs lots of money to run servers to host a game especially when having a proper internet connection comes into play. Renting a server to host games on is also expensive most cost $130+ USD a month to rent. There are a lot of great free games out there that wouldn't be possible if it weren't for RMT ( Real Money Trade ).

    Doing pretty well in it now. Somewhere like level 26, and upgraded my characters nicely. Been a few updates to add realism to the game, such as degradable items, different calorie requirements and delivering/collecting Lab samples and Equipment to work towards giving the Humans the upper hand.

    Screens:

    I also have 5 invites if anyone PMs me an email to send one to.

    Oh, and it's free. You have the option to spend RL money on "NECRA Points" but you don't have to. Doesn't do too much other than give you some upgrades which you can get through non monetary means.
