NOW IN OPEN BETA: Play now, but expect rough edges and things in development as we keep improving! Survivors, welcome to The Collapse. Join the global fight for land, power and pride in a real-world hybrid Shooter-RTS. FIGHT FOR YOUR HOMETOWN Six months after civilization’s collapse, your hometown is under attack. Protect your way of life through brutal firefights against relentless local rivals and foreign invaders. Stand your ground, fight for every neighborhood, and ensure your survival. GLOBAL WAR. ONE SERVER. The world is at war, on ONE server. You and your clan will need to fight to control every neighborhood, city, and country. War never ends, so every victory counts - strategize with your clan on the global map to seize territory, claim resources, and crush rivals. DOMINATE WITH FRIENDS No more governments, police or laws. To survive you’ll need to rally your friends to join a clan, and defend your turf. Old feuds have ignited into open bloody conflict as rival towns, clans and regions come for your territory. Survival requires coordination—strategize with your clan, fight as one, and crush your enemies. TAKE & HOLD TERRITORY Clan War is your path to power. Defend your turf or conquer new territories to expand your clan’s power and influence. When War is declared, the 24-hour clock starts to get the most War Points. When the dust settles, the clan with the most War Points controls the land and its resources. Trade your spoils at the Trading Post for elite squadmates, rare gear, and exclusive blueprints. PLAY YOUR WAY You’re in command. Beyond intense firefights, choose how to wage war. Deploy your squadmates on timed missions to eliminate local rivals and secure critical resources. These squad operations power your upgrades, giving you the edge in Clan War. Run-and-gun or strategize from the safety of your stronghold - the choice is yours. THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE MISSION You’ll need to scavenge rare blueprints and supplies to forge better weapons and gear for increasingly brutal missions packed with varied objectives. Travel to remote targets, infiltrate enemy strongholds, complete goals, and extract. Face enemies with diverse loadouts, from fast-moving minions to heavily armed brutes, and take down bosses guarding the best loot.

Read full description

Can you escape the nightmare before becoming part of it? Dark Dream is a multiplayer horror game where four players are trapped inside a world of living nightmares. At the start of each match, one player is randomly chosen to be the Child while the others become Monsters. The Child is the only one who can see the portal back to reality. Reach it and escape. But surviving won't be easy. If a Monster catches the Child, their roles are instantly reversed. The Monster becomes the new Child, and the Child is consumed by the nightmare, returning as a Monster. In Dark Dream, no role is permanent and every second can change the outcome of the match. Features • Online multiplayer matches for up to 4 players • Dynamic role-swapping gameplay • Unique monsters with distinct appearances • Dark environments inspired by childhood fears and nightmares • Randomized items and powers that change every match • Fast-paced hide, chase, and escape mechanics • Stylized horror visuals and atmospheric sound design • Constant tension where anyone can become the next target Escape or Hunt Run through the darkness. Search for the portal. Outsmart the monsters. Or become one of them. The nightmare is waiting. Will you wake up... or stay trapped in Dark Dream forever?
