Survival Management Simulator, Dead in Vinand is officially out, published by Playdius and developed by CCCP, for both PC and Mac for 19.99 (with a launch discount of 10% on Steam, GOG and Origin until Thursday, April 19th). Focused on player choice, the game pulls from many genres, with survival management/RPG systems and elements. With three modes of difficulty, randomized elements, and over 150 map areas to explore, there are lots of things to see and do among the 70 non-linear quests to reach the end and find out the fate of your characters.
“We’re overjoyed to release at last our little baby after 2 years of intense development! We can’t wait to see how players will struggle to survive and see the end of this journey into Hell, and what strategies they will discover that even ourselves weren’t aware of,” said Matthieu Richez, CEO of CCCP and Lead Game Designer. “We’ll offer a good beer to the first player who reaches the end of the game in hard + true Viking mode… Good luck!“
