They sealed the zone. You've got a full tank.

A top-down zombie car roguelite where the only way out is through.

The game

Every kilometre gets darker. And richer.

EQZ: Escape is a top-down zombie car roguelite. One car, one sealed-off outbreak zone and a gate at the far end. The map is new every run, and the clock is already ticking.

The further you drive, the later it gets. By dusk the zombies hit harder, but every reward pays out more. Floor it for the exit, or detour for loot and gas stations and gamble on the dark. How far do you push it?

Features

Features

01 · Drive

Drive like you mean it

Drift round corners, smash through fences and wrecks, and run over anything slow enough to get in your way. Speed is your best armour. Stop moving and you're lunch.

02 · Upgrade

Bolt on something stupid

A roof gun becomes a minigun becomes a fireworks barrage. Every weapon and car part branches, and by level 10 every branch is ridiculous: electric saw blades, a shotgun that throws suns, rocket batteries out the back.

03 · Survive

Zombies are the easy part

Survivors want your car. Raiders want your parts. The army wants you gone. They'll fight the zombies too, but hang around in one place and they'll come looking for you.

04 · Fight back

Then the helicopter shows up

Gunships, airstrikes, hunting hordes and road tyrants in armoured rigs. Each one is a nightmare. Take it down and the loot is yours.

The garage, with the tank on the turntable

Pick your getaway

Muscle car, go-kart, race car, motorbike, tank, a mech with jump-jets. Or your own two feet, if you're feeling brave.

The world map of the quarantine zone

No two escapes alike

Fresh map every run. Main roads are fast and crawling. Side streets are quiet, until they aren't.

A level-up card offering the Arc Storm weapon

Every level-up is a gamble

A new weapon, an upgrade or a fork in the tree. Choose well. You'll find out by nightfall.

One car. Three zones. One escape.

The way out

The Suburbs

Cul-de-sacs, fortified houses and armed survivors who'd quite like your car.

Exit boss: The Siege Rig

The Highway

Eight lanes of pile-ups, sinkholes and raider camps. The bridge is still standing. Mostly.

Exit boss: The Tanker King

The Military Perimeter

Searchlights, minefields, gun nests and one very large wall between you and the free world.

Exit boss: The Warden

Break the gate. Escape the EQZ.
