What is Pathogen: Code Omega?
Pathogen: Code Omega is a survival action game set on an island where a virus has turned the population into zombies.
Players gather wood, metal, food, and other supplies while managing stamina, hunger, health, and equipment wear. Salvaged materials support a customizable base with upgraded walls, doors, traps, spikes, turrets, storage, and workstations. Crafting covers weapons, incendiaries, medical items, tools, reinforced armor, and explosive traps, with rare blueprints found through exploration. Combat combines melee weapons, firearms, explosives, stealth, and ambushes. The main objectives are burning infected nests to obtain samples and building a beacon for rescue, followed by a final defense against attacking hordes.
