What THE DEAD WE KNEW is

THE DEAD WE KNEW: Open World Survival is a Steam Early Access open-world survival game from MAY19 STUDIO (app 4890760). Explore, loot abandoned places, craft from the survival notebook (FIRES / HOUSE / STORAGES), build and defend a shelter, and manage hunger, thirst, and energy — alone or in up to 4-player co-op — against zombies, hostile humans, and fog that raises the threat.

Scavenge sticks, logs, stone, and leafs by day; place notebook blueprints and reinforce before night; watch the weather — dense fog means lower visibility and more aggressive zombies.

Steam Early Access date is contested: press / dig coverage cited 2026-09-17; Steam store appdetails lists 2026-10-22. Both stay dual-listed until unlock text and press agree. Notebook crafting (FIRES · HOUSE · STORAGES) is tabulated; map pin names and cook recipes are held. Sea fishing and vehicles are roadmap items — held.
