Fear the Night Server Hosting, Explained

What is Fear the Night?

New to Fear the Night?

What is Fear the Night?

Fear the Night is a sandbox zombie survival game on Unreal Engine, set in an open world around Pittsburgh. You scavenge, hunt and craft medicine to stave off infection by day, then take shelter when night falls and the zombies grow more aggressive and perceptive. They hunt by sight, sound and smell, so staying unseen matters. Over time you reclaim pre-apocalypse facilities for their resources, seal off zombie caves to make your territory safer, and hack rogue robots so they help you survive.

Fear the Night.

Scavenge while it is light, and find shelter before the dark brings the horde.

Squad Up or Go Alone.

Rebuild with other survivors, or trust no one in a lawless world.
