Welcome to Outbreak: Epidemic. The first time you load up Epidemic's F2P version (without the Premium Content DLC installed), you'll be faced with a tremendously difficult decision. You'll need to pick your survivor - a permanent choice that you'll need to live with as long as you stick to the F2P version of the game. The survivor you pick in the F2P version will only have access to their starting class and can only level up to Level 4.
Note: You can unlock access to ALL characters, classes and the ability to start games on Biohazard or Nightmare difficulty by purchasing the Premium Content DLC.
It is highly recommended that you take a minute to visit the "Characters & Upgrades" screen before making this selection. You can view all of the character classes there and their starting stats. Your choices on the main menu are:
- Gwen - Survivor Class
- Tom - Marksman Class
- Kara - Reporter Class
- Renault - Renegade Class
What's the difference between the F2P version and the Premium Content?
In a nutshell, the F2P version allows you to play on ANY game mode or scenario either alone or with up to three additional friends. The limitations in this version is that you are forced to select a single survivor and you can only level up to level 4. You also cannot start games on the Biohazard or Nightmare difficulty BUT you can join other games hosted by users on those difficulties. Essentially in the F2P version - you can always play with your friends - no matter if they're on F2P or have the Premium Content installed.
Why did you choose to restrict these portions of the game in the F2P version?
Restricting the characters, classes and higher difficulties options, but allowing you to play on any game mode, scenario or join all games was designed to ensure that everyone has plenty of content to play and to help grow the player population. For folks who enjoy the game and experience, they can choose to upgrading using the Premium Content DLC and gain full access to all characters, their classes, the ability to level up to level 10 and start games on Biohazard or Nightmare difficulty.
What can I expect as the game continues to develop in Early Access?
You can expect more scenarios for Campaign, Onslaught and Experiments modes. New enemies, weapons, items and more. Polish to the entire game experience will continue, including gameplay tweaks, performance enhancements, etc... And best of all, we want YOUR feedback to determine how to prioritize this work and what you'd like to see added. Feel free to sound off on our Discussion Boards! Have fun and make sure to tell your friends! We're looking forward to surviving and growing this game experience with you in the year to come!

Outbreak: Epidemic Linux [6.62 G]
The infection spreads like never before in Outbreak: Epidemic, the free-to-play co-op survival horror nightmare from Dead Drop Studios. Experience the nationwide epidemic as you and up to three friends lead Gwen, Renault, Kara and Tom through the undead apocalypse. Outbreak: Epidemic features the series classic tough-as-nails survival horror gameplay powered by the next-generation Outbreak engine. Experience the nightmare close up through over-the-shoulder claustrophobic gameplay as you blast and slash your way through the epidemic.
The free-to-play version allows you to play up to 4-player co-op (or solo) on any game mode or scenario across the Campaign, Onslaught and Experiments modes, so there's never a time where you can't group up and take on the undead. You'll have access to pick a single character and starting class, with some limited restrictions on progression and other systems. The free-to-play version also limits you to starting games on Easy or Normal difficulty (but you can join games on any difficulty). When you're ready to experience more of the nightmare, you can choose to buy an upgrade to unlock all the characters, their classes and the additional difficulty options.
The epidemic will begin as an Early Access experience where over time more content, including scenarios, game modes and more will become available. Any premium content will be offered at a discount during the Early Access phase. Your feedback will directly shape the game and your support will help it grow into the survival horror experience the world has been waiting for. You only have one life, can you survive the epidemic?
