About This Game

Explore the Post-apocalyptic Open World

Rooted is a post-apocalyptic survival game. Near the year 2100. You are one of the few survivors. You must progress and adapt through the ruins of the past civilization that collapsed due to global bacteriological warfare.

Over the years, nature has somehow managed to make some areas safe, even taking back terrain and cleaning residue of the devastating bacterial weapons. Urban areas however are less fortunate. You will get in trouble if you go there without protection. You have been warned!

To develop your camp and improve your living conditions, you must explore - alone or with your friends, to collect scraps and objects, restore items, or even create new ones that you will learn to craft along the way.

Watch your surroundings. It won’t be easy, as the danger has many faces.

Solo and Co-op

Start the adventure by exploring the world of Rooted. Create your camp in the forest, in a village, or in downtown; solo or in cooperation with your friends. Speaking about friends, and for more realism, friendly fire can be a thing in Rooted. Your team or other people can join your game session whenever they want. The in-game communication system (VOIP) adds realism to your team’s experience.

Build and craft

Build and improve your camp, using all the items you farm, salvage, and craft. As you progress in the game, you can improve your defenses, automate tasks, supply electricity, and develop your workshop...

Settle an outpost in villages or in the city, securing houses, offices, or even entire floors in a building. Barricades, partitions, traps. Craft something to protect yourself. The travel distance can be long. Getting to build a secondary outpost is always a plus.

Craft tools to improve your life conditions, facilitate transportation, eat, protect and heal yourself.

Salvage & Learn

Salvaging is a major key component in Rooted. You can recover, repair and use a lot of items from the past civilization, whether they are mechanical, electronical or even clothing!

Recover more or less rare parts depending on the condition of the objects you are dismantling. The more you salvage, the more likely you will learn how to reassemble them. Upgrade your camp with your newly-learned items to make your survivor’s life easier.

Enemies

You are not alone. Animals can be as helpful as dangerous. You will meet other humans too, who also try to make their way to a better life. Some foes may be stronger than you think. Made of steel or made of flesh, choose your opponent wisely!

Constant evolution

Rooted is a living world. From the forest to city's downtown, explore a large world that evolves with your actions.

You gain access to new areas, new items, and new crafting options over time. Major events will have an impact on the world, bringing new challenges to you and your friends. You must be prepared!
