About Outbreak: Lost Hope


Experience a mother's desperate search for her daughter in the midst of a nation-wide epidemic. Taking place in the Outbreak universe by Dead Drop Studios, this story follows Gwen just after her harrowing escape from an urban center during the outbreak. A terrible accident causes her to get separated from her daughter Hope and she has to fight the undead to survive... and save her daughter.

Outbreak: Lost Hope is the next title in the Outbreak series. Built new from the ground up and featuring all-new over the shoulder survival horror gameplay. With greater control, comes greater threats as you fight through monstrous hordes, desperately search for supplies, solve puzzles and ultimately make your way through this nightmare. You, and your daughter, only have one life - can you survive the nightmare and save her?

About Outbreak: The New Nightmare


Enter an unforgiving co-op survival horror experience as you fight for your life against oppressive odds. The horrors of Arzt Memorial Hospital were just the beginning of the outbreak. As the infection spread across the city, local law enforcement fell quickly. You now find yourself trapped in a hellscape with only a few remaining survivors. Scavenge the environment for supplies, face off against the undead and do anything it takes to survive. You have only one life. Make it count!

Outbreak: The Nightmare Chronicles Chapters 3 and 4 Now Available + v1.3 Patch!


Outbreak: The Nightmare Chronicles Chapters 3 and 4 are now available! If you own the Complete Edition or the Season Pass, you will now have access to them in-game. They are also available for purchase separately as well! If you don't see them, restart Steam.

As a solo indie developer, I greatly appreciate all of the support I've received from the community as I've developed the Outbreak series over the last few years. I truly miss the classic survival horror genre and I hope everyone has enjoyed going on this journey to take a step back in time with me. This release completes Outbreak: The Nightmare Chronicles content-wise, but I'll be on the lookout for reported issues and address them where possible.

This release also includes the v1.3 patch which contains:

  • Support for Chapter 3 and 4 content.
  • Minor improvements to enemy pathfinding.
  • Minor improvements to environmental collisions to improve playability.
  • Buffed damage for the Shotgun slightly.

Thanks again for a great few years of survival horror! I'm not quite sure where the future of the series will be - but I have a hunch we might see this world again someday! Best of luck surviving!

The Outbreak series needs your support!

The Outbreak series is created by a solo indie-dev in their free time without funding and much in the way of advertising support. Community involvement in sharing and letting the world know about the game is critical to the future success of the series.

Just a quick request - If you're enjoying these games and you feel they deserve it, PLEASE consider leaving a positive review to share your thoughts with the community. If you have any issues or require support, PLEASE reach out to me here or on Discord for help before filing a negative review. If I'm unable to meet your expectations, you should absolutely share your thoughts. Above all, I'm looking for honest feedback to improve the series.
