Dead State is a post-apocalyptic Role-Playing Game developed by DoubleBear Productions with the assistance of Iron Tower Studio, who later relased The Age of Decadence. The game was partially funded through Kickstarter and released in 2014. It casts the player as the leader of a safehouse during a Zombie Apocalypse. Although zombies will, of course, be a constant menace, the focus of the game is human interaction: other survivors will be both your greatest asset and your greatest threat.It went through a massive rehaul and content patch as of May 13th 2015. Now called Dead State: Reanimated it boasts Hardcore mode, Iron Man Mode, and allows for PC infection.

Mission Control Is Off Its Meds: Lane the Radio DJ has moments of this, either due to the heat in the radio station, isolation, or the stress of the apocalypse. He gets better the next day.

Early Game Hell
 Dead State (Video Game) / int_1527d90d
comment
Early Game Hell: Things are definitely difficult at the beginning of the game. Your weapons suck, you have no armor, and your characters are very few. Facing more than two zombies at once is suicide, and combat will in general drain your people's limited health pools. Later, as you get more recruits, better combatants, powerful weapons, and shelter upgrades, zombies become more of an annoyance than anything, provided you don't make too much noise. It's the living that become your greatest concern at that point.

Genre Savvy: For all his pitfalls, Doug Schultz is well-versed in zombie fiction and video games, so his early survival suggestions (along with his initial plan of surviving the apocalypse) are dead on the money. He's also the only person expecting from the very start problems from other survivors.

Mutually Exclusive Party Members: Zig-Zagged, since it regards the same person. If you ever get Sir Charleston in your group, you will eventually face a choice: let him live his fantasy or bring him back to reality. This means a choice between Sir Charleston, a fearless knight in impenetrable armour and 2nd best fighter in the whole game, or Carlton Harriets, a wimpy geek with some engineering skills that can produce said armour for everyone else. Depending on when you make this decision, Carlton might end up being virtually useless aside his special crafting item, with terrible stat and skill levels.

Necessary Drawback
 Dead State (Video Game) / int_1c0d4155
comment
Necessary Drawback: Each and every character that has great stats, skillset and/or perks also comes with some balancing factor that makes getting and keeping them around an extra hassle. Best doctor? Can't speak English. Best builder? Already infected. Best fighter? Suicidal and psychotic. Best scientist? Held captive in a building full of the most dangerous human enemies in the game. And not all of their issues can be solved.

Cold Equation: When supplies get low you might have to do this. Killing the Chickens for a quick boost of meat is the first option... A CDC plan was to do this with the infected. The number of survivors that would die from anti-biotic immune and/or resistant bacteria after years of anti-biotic use would be much higher than any infected in safe zones.

Boring, but Practical: Of all the stuff you scavenge? Baseball bats are unbreakable and can attack diagonally. They only take 4 AP for attacks so even characters with low agility can attack twice. The best value-for-weight luxuries you can find are... batteries and thread. Flashlights and portables, clothes and wounds... when everything goes to hell, it's the little things you miss. The best value-for-weight provisions you can find are... bags of nuts.

Beware the Living: Zombies quickly became more of a nuisance than actual danger. It's looters, bikers and survivalists that are the real threat. Especially when they pack guns and remain ignorant to the amount of noise firearms create. It's also possible to end up besieged by them, putting a drain on resources and manpower on constant repairs of the fence.

Armor Is Useless
 Dead State (Video Game) / int_638b65bc
comment
Armor Is Useless: Averted. Running around without armor is a great way to get killed. And then played straight in that any armor you peel off of zombies (at least, any zombies turned less recently than a few minutes ago) is rendered useless. Being worn by a dead and decaying body wrecks a lot of things, apparently.

What Happened to the Mouse?: Every other faction in the endgame; you can't even interact with them to warn them of the meltdown happening at the nearby nuclear power plant. It's unlikely anyone cares, though; the only ones you can trade with - Pleasant Oaks Summer Camp and the Oil Refinery - are slaughtered by the other factions a few weeks before you learn about the meltdown.

Hide Your Children: There are no children in Dead State. Justified in that the Texan government prioritised the evacuation of children highest, and that the Countdown virus doesn't resurrect children after killing them. So any children that might have been left behind are very likely to be dead and/or eaten.

Anti-Hoarding: Fresh food spoils over time, even when the refrigerator is running, so hauling back more than daily consumption is pointless.

comment
Take That!: To Rick Perry's day of prayer.Explanation For non-US political Tropers, the Governor of Texas asked for everyone to pray for a drought in Texas to end. Not only did the drought become a record-breaker after that, several wildfires also razed the region. In-Game he asked all of Texas to pray for the infection to end. One ally knew that was the sign that they would have to get the hell out. Ironically, the State of Texas' drought did end, with record breaking rain fall and massive flooding in 2015.

Zombie Infectee
 Dead State (Video Game) / int_c14ca4e0
comment
Zombie Infectee: In a slight departure from the classic Romero Rules, infectees can stop the turning process with a steady supply of antibiotics, but not entirely cure it; an infectee will eventually turn if they lose access to antibiotics. The player is, due to the Rule of Fun, immune to the infection on normal difficulty. The dev team have hinted at a harder "survival mode", where this won't be the case.

Mêlée à Trois: Late game maps (or earlier if Sequence Breaking) has some of the enemy factions fighting each other. Of course the noise of the fight draws zombies to it, making it a Looter/Survivalist/Zombie battle. You can join in or pick off the survivors. In Menard Strip Mall you come across a group of Coyotes (criminal, not the mammal) hunting a gang of looters. You can just keep on walking or take them all out.

Shout-Out
 Dead State (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The "Mmm, Bison" mascot? It's a Buffalo wearing an M. Bison hat. One of the zombies you find is named Itchy Tasty. Another fast food restaurant is a reference to another game; Friggin' Chicken was in a commercial in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. If you attempt to use a staircase on a multi-story map without letting your followers catch up, you're told to gather your party before venturing forth. You can find two NPC enemies named Shauna and Edwina in a bar. Shauna carries a special cricket bat named "Red On You." Pepper is, in keeping with the post-apocalyptic genre, an Australian Cattle Dog. The description for the crowbar says that wielding it as a weapon both makes you feel though, and slightly nerdy. When you repair the shelter's damaged water purification system, the player can say that it's "[too] bad it couldn't be fixed by just replacing a single chip." Karen Landey is pregnant and can pilot a helicopter. Some of her lines are lifted from the movie, too.

Schmuck Bait: Repairing the initial fence to full capacity. Each point of its HP costs one part, so you are going to spend a whooping 100 parts to make it done, not to mention time and manpower. Something you can entirely avoid by just repairing it partially and then moving as soon as possible to wood fence, which costs 50 parts, while instantly "fixing" the defenses to 150 HP. All you really need is spending on it 5-10 parts and move forward to better things.

What the Hell, Hero?: Getting people killed will earn you a severe tongue-lashing from the other survivors, especially if they happened to be friends and relatives of the deceased. And doing morally-questionable deeds in front of your more scrupulous allies will get you a drop in morale and a stern word from Davis.

Reduced to Ratburgers: Rats are also known as "apocalypse chicken" in Dead State. Even worse is gathering mealworms for the survivors to eat. Depressingly, both of these have among the best nutritional value of all available food; scavengers returning with these will keep the shelter alive longer than just about anything else — the morale drop is because they really won't enjoy it.

Fake Difficulty: One of the very first steps you must take for immediate survival is to fix the fence. To any value, rather than fully, but the game won't tell you that. The time and resources spent on fixing the fence you will be re-building soon anyway are a considerable drain on early-game resources and your qualified workforce.

Team Pet: The player has the option to adopt a dog and put it on their team. Obviously, dogs do can't wield weapons or wear armor, but they compensate for this by their better senses which can more effectively alert the player's team to threats. In combat, they're immune to the zombie plague and panicking, have twice the movement/attack points of most survivors, are able to attack diagonally (for which human allies require specific weaponry), and have a carrying capacity on par with the humans. Later updates added cats that raise morale and keep the rats away at the cost of more food. You can also raise chickens for eggs and horses for transportation (and meat in a pinch).

Shown Their Work: A lot of the lore entries show some actual understanding of science and statistics. Shown the most when a lore entry has a CDC analyst comes to the conclusion it would be better to kill any infected rather then treat them. Not because of cost or logistics but because having untold thousands on a daily supply of antibiotic would result in a drug-resistant and immune disease that would then wipe out most of the survivors in the world.
