## What is Stepbound?

Stepbound is a turn-based tactical survival horror game set in post-apocalyptic Italy.

Every move you make advances time. Zombies only move when you move. Think before you act: every decision could cost you your life.

— YOUR STORY, STEP BY STEP —
Start in Molfetta, a seaside town turned into an infested maze. Reach the station, catch the train to Rome and face the unknown in an abandoned capital. The journey is long, ammo is scarce, and the enemies won't wait.

— ENEMIES YOU WON'T FORGET —
Every kind of zombie behaves differently:
• Wanderer – slow but unpredictable
• Sprinter – fast and aggressive
• Brute – tough and devastating
• Blind – can't see you, but can hear you
• And more, each more dangerous than the last

— TACTICAL SURVIVAL —
Manage your ammo, choose when to fight and when to run. Use the environment to your advantage. Every level is a puzzle solved one turn at a time.

— ORIGINAL PIXEL ART —
A look inspired by classic handheld RPGs, reimagined in a dark, post-apocalyptic key. Pixel-perfect, integer scaling, no visual compromises.

— NO HIDDEN COSTS —
Play completely offline. No in-app purchases, no ads. Gameplay statistics and error reports are sent only if you agree, and you can turn them off at any time in the settings.

New areas are coming in future updates.
