In two weeks, the Island will be closed for disinfection from bugs and a complete revision of the gameplay.
Everyone who has the game installed will have access to the previous version of Outbreak Island: Pendulum. For the rest, the page with the game will no longer be available. The next updates you will be able to experience in Outbreak Island.
At the moment, a huge amount of work is being done to reorganize the workflow on the game and expand the development team.
As a reminder, Outbreak Island: Pendulum is a prologue in which you were able to try out only about 12% of the content of the main game. Our team thanks you for your support and survival on the Island. Your feedback formed a solid foundation for the development of the project!
We can't wait to show you what progress we have made during this time!
See you at Outbreak Island!
CAR UPDATE!
Big news, Friends!
All this time we have been preparing for you an update with vehicles and bug fixes in the game. But the most important thing is moving the project from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5.
In the future, this will allow rendering a better picture and light, making smooth loading between locations, a new loot saving system and a more various enemy system. As well as additional mechanics, bringing the experience of survival closer to realistic. You could even say that the game will feel completely new!
The old loot save system conflicts with the new version of the game engine, and we have added 2 Large Containers with bonus resources and weapons. If you have nothing missing or you are starting a new game (which we recommend to get a new survival experience with a car at the start of the game) - use the bonus resources at your discretion.
ATTENTION!
Saving resources in new storages and planting in greenhouses are temporarily not available. We are working hard on rebuilding the save system for the new version of the game engine. Your feedback, as always, helps us to quickly track and correct errors.
Change Log
Added vehicles with the ability to use the trunk to transport loot (and even buildings to a new base), refuel it and hit enemies.
If the car is stuck, you can reset its position by pressing the R key.
If the car sinks in water, it will automatically respawning at the base.
Added a new item - Jerrican for car refueling. They can be found in locations on the map and refilled at a gas station.
Added 2 Large Containers with bonus resources.
Fixed bugs when creating workbenches and storage.
Fixed a bug with switching the language in the game.
The All Saints Night event is also ongoing, where a delicious reward for completing a bonus task awaits you! And remember - at this time the monsters become stronger and more dangerous!
Write your feedback in the pinned topic in the discussions!
We read every comment and make changes to the game as quickly as possible.
Happy Survival!
Halloween Event

And let these nights become a little safer for you with our Big Update, which will be released very soon - you can travel around the Island by car, collect resources in the trunk, you can even move your base to a new place that you choose yourself. But for now... try to survive these few nights and complete the quest!

Outbreak Island: Big Devlog #1 (video and text)
Hello everyone, we are Tiny Magicians studio and this is a devlog about our upcoming game Outbreak Island. Today we're going to talk about what makes our game unique compared to other survival sims, show some basic gameplay, and talk about the creation and development of the dynamic open world in Outbreak Island.
Video version:https://youtu.be/JLHWxW3f9R4
In the game, you will have to survive as a detective. Hunting and farming are at your service for saving your own life. And don't forget about the sleep - there is a tent for this purpose in the game. The campfire is not just a source of light, but also a tool for cooking. You can also pass the time on this scary island quite comfortably around the campfire.
By the way, the nights in Outbreak Island are very beautiful, but dangerous. And a couple of bullets are obviously not enough to survive them. This is the point at which Outbreak Island deviates from other survival sims. One of the detective's main survival tools is his camera. You can use flash to blind the mysterious Transformed, and escape. Plus, a tripod will help you remotely observe what's going on and even hunt.
The in-game island is not only about nature, but it’s also an abandoned city, factories, farms, and military bases. Exploring these places is not an easy task, as useful items are sometimes hidden in unexpected places. So you will have to jump as much as possible.
The weather in Outbreak Island is constantly changing. It can go from a calm, clear day to a wild storm. Don't forget to find shelter! And by the way, check out how the sound changes if you go indoors.
We are also happy to tell you that in Outbreak Island you can travel not only on foot, but also by car.
Since we're talking about the island as a whole, it's really big and varied in the game. Mountains, forests, hills, glades and caves. We pay great attention to visuals everywhere: not only natural, but also man-made: buildings and rooms look as if they were really inhabited by people once.
That's it for today! If you liked what you saw, don't forget to add Outbreak Island to your Wishlist on Steam. We'll have more news on the game's release and development progress soon. Thanks and see you around!
And add the free Outbreak Island: Pendulum prologue to your Wishlist, which will be released very soon!
Without much preface, we'd like to share with you the new Outbreak Island trailer. Car gameplay, setting up your own base, hunting, investigating and exploring the big open world included! And a release window announcement, of course.
What do you think of the trailer? Please share your impressions in the comments - only then we will know if we are moving in the right direction.
Don't forget to follow our social media so that you don't miss the development diaries and your chance to ask Outbreak Island developers your questions directly. And add the free Outbreak Island: Pendulum prologue to your Wishlist, which will be released very soon!
