PESTBOUND is an online open-world survival shooter for PC by solo developer Patrick Hackl (HACKLWORKS, Germany). Survive in a 4 km² plague-ravaged voxel world: scavenge, hunt, fish, build a base, repair vehicles and fight infected creatures – alone or with friends, on PvE or PvP servers.

Long

PESTBOUND is an online, open-world survival shooter set in a 4 km² voxel world scarred by the plague. Explore forests, roads and abandoned settlements. Find food and water, gather equipment and build somewhere to call home.

The plague has left infected creatures roaming the world. Food and water matter every day: players search abandoned kitchens, fish at the water’s edge, hunt in the countryside, cook by the fire and treat their wounds. They gather materials to build a base, keep vehicles running with replacement parts and fight in a destructible voxel world where cover can break and explosions leave debris. PESTBOUND can be played solo or with friends, on PvE servers without player combat or on PvP servers where other survivors can become a threat.

PESTBOUND is developed by Patrick Hackl, the solo developer behind HACKLWORKS in Germany, who loves survival shooters and voxel games and is building the game he always wanted to make. Development is supported through Kickstarter; PESTBOUND is coming to PC on Steam.
