Hey Survivors!
Welcome to Day 3! Thank you to everyone who watched Evan's stream with Jeremy last night and for any one who backed yesterday evening. Your support will get us through this!
We achieved our goal of 1,130 Twitter followers, so as promised we have a location reveal for you! The next Location Reveal goal is 300 followers for the Facebook page. If you haven't followed us yet please head on over to the Dead Drop Studios Facebook Page to follow.
The Sewer
Going underground might not be the best way to escape the horde. It's clear that whatever experiments they were doing over at Arzt memorial hospital, they weren't being quiet transparent. The local fauna has succumbed to the bubbling green goo oozing from the improperly disposed barrels, and now the howls and screams of new abominations echo down the tunnels. Survivors trekking on the damp stone walkways can barely make out a unfinished message scrawled on the wall : Turn back! Look out for Arthu- before it devolves into deep, bloody gouge marks. What's more dangerous? The outbreak above or the terror below?
Clearly there is something in the water!

Hey Survivors! Welcome to Day 2!
We are still moving at good pace! We may just get through this! Thank you again to everyone who has backed or is considering backing. Your support means the world to us!
You survivors have not been shy about what you want on the discord, and we devs have been listening!
A la carte add ons for some of the options in the more expensive tiers was a repeatedly mentioned option , so we have added the following add ons for you to customize your kit!
Name a pre-existing playable survivor
Dinner with the devs
Design a questline
VIP Launch Party ticket
Become a Playable Survivor
In addition, we have a new add on, Tag the Outbreak, which allows you to craft messages to be sprawled on the wall of Cypress Ridge to help or hinder as players make there way through the city!
We have also added Become a Playable Survivor as it's own reward tier, where you will have the option with working with us to create your own, unique survivor in the outbreak. See our campaign page for further details!
Evan has received some feedback on his streams that the 7 pm EST time does not work for our European backers, as such we will be adding a 1pm EST stream time (starting today, 9/1) as well, so you don't miss out on all the retro fun and Q &A!
If you haven't already, please sign up for our launch giveaway, ending Monday!
Keep on surviving and let's get the Outbreak Funded!

Hi Survivors!
So we are ten hours in now, and 20% funded! We are super excited to see such great turnout in just a few hours since the last update!
There has been a lot of chatter on the discord regarding the NPC tier. For those of you not in the loop, people have been requesting to add on the ability to create an NPC in addition to creating and item or a enemy. You spoke and we listened, we have added a limited number of "Create an NPC" add ons.
If you've been waiting for something special to come along to back, this is the time to pull the trigger! And of course, if you have already backed us, you can update your pledge to include the new add on.
We have a limited number of these, so get 'em before they are all devoured.
A reminder that Evan is streaming on our twitch channel everyday this week starting at 7pm EST, so if you have questions about the Kickstarter or just want to see a guy play cool vintage games come check us out! Link below!
