Dead Matter Server Hosting, Explained

What is Dead Matter?

New to Dead Matter?

What is Dead Matter?

Dead Matter is an open-world zombie survival game set in the Kananaskis area of Alberta, in the shadow of the Canadian Rockies. A virus has turned most of the province into Infected, the evacuation failed, and you are one of the survivors left behind. You loot towns and wilderness for food, water, medicine and weapons, treat your own wounds, craft what you need, and take mercenary work from the survivors of Dominion, while other players hunt for the same supplies.

Hordes That Hear You.

Gunfire draws the Infected, and melee leaves you outnumbered. Plan every fight.

Claim and Fortify.

Claim a house or a warehouse, barricade it, and make it your base.
