Welcome to the Perished City! In a city marred by time a searching woman found a place, infested. Her ailing body took root and healed, and soon she began providing. The people, accepting her offerings, built a temple in her honor. She became what was heralded, a beacon of care, a mother. This major update brings you new locations, new quests, new characters, new enemies, and more. We hope you'll enjoy this. Your old save games should be compatible with this update. For convenience there's also a shortcut from the main menu that lets anyone jump straight into the city content. If you stumble o

Hey. We put the content update “The Perished City” on the beta branch and would appreciate some feedback. Our design goals for this and the further content updates are to improve the writing, especially the variety in how NPCs talk, add more depth to the narrative elements, add more player decisions, and have more visual variety among the locations. It would be good to know if we’re on track with that. The update needs more work in some areas, including balancing and itemization, and it’s currently separated from the main game still. There’s a separate entry for it in the “New Game” menu. So I

I am sorry. We made progress this year, but not as much as I had hoped. The projected dates for the next updates did not work out as planned. We are focusing on the content of the game at the moment. That is slow work, as we are still somewhat inexperienced in this. (And it seems to me that working on story-based content will never be a straightforward process to begin with.) I appeal here to your understanding of the situation, and therefore will lay out what this current situation consists of. Situation We are a small team. Two core members at the moment, working full-time on Death Trash. We

Death Trash features a world where cosmic horrors long for humanity but meet punks with shotguns. Influenced by post-apocalyptic, horror, and cyberpunk classics. Death Trash is certainly promising, and it's finally gearing up for a content update.

A small peek at our upcoming content update, which covers the Perished City, located at the center of the game's world map. We expect this to be on the beta branch in the next months.

Welcome. This is the roadmap for the final phase of the Death Trash Early Access. We have avoided communicating concrete dates in the past. Working as a small team on a complicated game has been notoriously difficult, especially in regards to timely estimations. The Early Access took longer than we initially anticipated. For that we are sorry. But during the Early Access we have improved the game and, equally important, our tools, workflows and knowledge. We are more confident now about handling the rest of the game and what time we’ll need for that. Note: These dates might still change. If on
