Serum: Toxic Survival

Serum: Toxic Survival is a survival game built in Unreal Engine 5, set in a ruined, apocalyptic world affected by toxic fog and mutated creatures. Players explore different biomes to gather resources, uncover clues about past events, and manage a constant timer that tracks their character’s survival window.

Core mechanics include a brewing system for creating serums from materials collected off animals and plants. These serums grant temporary abilities and can be combined in various ways to suit different situations. Players can also expand a safe zone to establish a sustainable source of serum ingredients, craft tools, traps, and weapons, and modify equipment using serum for added effectiveness.

Combat involves melee, ranged, and throwing weapons such as spears, bows, and clubs, used against mutated enemies encountered while exploring. Players must also manage health, stamina, and the side effects of serum use while navigating the hostile environment and searching for shelter and technology to aid their survival.
