Hello Survivors,

After much consideration, we have officially decided to discontinue development on Dry Grass and retire the game from Steam. This means that the game will no longer be available for purchase, and its multiplayer servers, which were already inactive, will remain offline.

We recognize that this may be disappointing for some of you, but unfortunately, maintaining and updating the game is no longer feasible. The game hasnt received updates in over four years, and our focus has since shifted to other projects that are currently in development and will be releasing on Steam in the future. Rather than leaving an outdated and unplayable version on the store, weve decided to formally shut it down.

For those who have played Dry Grass in the past, we sincerely thank you for your support. Your feedback, engagement, and passion for survival gaming have meant a lot to us.

Once this process is complete, Dry Grass will no longer be purchasable, but if you already own the game, it will remain in your Steam library.

Thank you again for being part of this journey.c

Stay safe,

Matus
