Every point you earn is a bet you have not settled yet. Grave Dividend is a wave-survival shooter built on one decision, made over and over, under pressure. Kill the dead and your Dividend climbs. Bank it between rounds and it is permanently yours. Push one more round and the multiplier grows - but die with it unbanked and you walk away with nothing. Greed is the whole game. Knowing when to stop is the skill. THE DECISION Your Dividend is never safe while you are still fighting. Every round you survive without banking makes the pile bigger and the loss worse. There is no correct answer, only the one you can live with. WHAT YOU BANK, YOU KEEP Banked Dividend funds your Portfolio: permanent perks that carry into every run you ever play. Deadeye, Gunslinger, Juggernaut, Scavenger and Fortune each change how a run plays out. Build the loadout that suits how far you are willing to push. FIVE GROUNDS, EACH WITH ITS OWN PROBLEM - The Last House - hold the Last Signal Relay behind a sandbag perimeter while the horde works the gaps. - Lockdown Lot - a thirty-metre killbox. No retreat, no cover, no second plan. - Repossession Yard - a thirty-six-metre impound yard of blind corners and dead ends. Clear a ground and the next one unlocks. CO-OP FOR UP TO FOUR Drop straight into public Quick Play, or keep the lobby private and bring your own crew. You share the ground, but every survivor decides alone when to bank. Watching a teammate push one round too far never stops being funny. BUILT FOR PHONES One thumb to move, one to aim. No twenty-button layouts, no menus in the middle of a fight. A run fits into the time you actually have. HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT IS No advertising. No real-money purchases. No energy timers asking you to come back tomorrow. Dividend is a score, not a currency - it cannot be bought, and there is nothing to sell you. LEADERBOARDS THAT MEAN SOMETHING Every run is validated on the server before it counts. Impossible scores do not make the board, so the names above yours got there the same way you have to. Pick your ground. Hold it. Then decide how greedy you feel.
