Hey Survivors!

Welcome to a new week! 


Lots of updates for you!


First up; our Launch Week Giveaway has concluded! We have a winner and you will be contacted via e-mail before the week is out!

We have a new giveaway this week for all you Stadians and Stadia curious backers, we are giving away a signed stadia premiere edition console. Follow the link below for details!

Signed Stadia Premiere Edition Console Giveaway!


Add-on price changes

1) We ADDED an LIMITED EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT TIER for the signed Silver LRG #413 trading card at $20

2) We LOWERED the normal signed Silver LRG #413 trading card to $25.

3) We increased the # of Silver cards available in both tiers to 80 in total, $40 to each tier and we have dropped the price. Early Bird is now $20, Standard is $25. 


NEW ADD ON!

We have gotten a lot of feedback in Evan's streams that you wonderful people are buying the other digital games in the Outbreak series on your preferred platform. That is fabulous and every little bit helps! However given the current situation, we would be much happier if the money could be used to support the kickstarter. With this in mind, The Outbreak Legacy Series 7 Digital Games ADD-ON is now available for new and existing pledgers. 

This reward includes ALL 7 LEGACY OUTBREAK GAMES on your platform of choice (either PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, NINTENDO SWITCH, and Steam (Windows + Linux). It's priced at only $45 which is a killer deal for the legacy game series, and we'll be trying to get these codes out ASAP after the Kickstarter campaign ends. The games includes are Outbreak, Outbreak: The New Nightmare, Outbreak: The Nightmare Chronicles, Outbreak: Lost Hope, Outbreak: Epidemic, Outbreak: Endless Nightmares and Outbreak: Contagious Memories. PLEASE NOTE THAT BECAUSE THIS IS AN ADD ON AND NOT A REWARD IT DOES NOT INCLUDE OUTBREAK: SHADES OF HORROR!


This is a great way to buy the series on your platform of choice, and ensure the money goes into the KS! 


Thank you again for your support and see you in the next update!

Keep on Survivin'

Games we are watching

The fun thing about being indie creators on Kickstarter is getting to see all the cool things that other devs are working on. As horror survival fans ourselves, we were delighted to watch the trailer for Hollowbody, a sci-fi noir take on classic survival horror (think sci-fi Silent Hill!). Go take a look and let's get it funded because I really want to play this!

Hollowbody from Headware Games

Day 3 and Location Reveal
about 2 years ago – Fri, Sep 02, 2022 at 09:16:04 AM

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!
