European Deadzone: Polesie

European Deadzone: Polesie is a text-based RPG sandbox for players who want survival horror mixed with monster-girl encounters. The tone is grim and dystopian, with a cold, quarantined atmosphere throughout.

Story

After an unexplained catastrophe transforms Polesie into a sealed-off wasteland, a lone survivor is left to navigate the quarantine zone alone. The region is now home to succubi, ghouls, and other twisted creatures born from whatever happened there. Whether to uncover what caused the disaster or simply survive among its new inhabitants is left to the player.

Gameplay

Movement between locations is turn-based and text-driven, with enemies that patrol, spot, and chase using vision cones rather than fixed encounters. Combat is strategic, requiring the player to manage positioning and resources against ghouls and other hostiles, while succubi and similar creatures can be grappled into intimate encounters instead of straight fights. Outside combat, the loop leans on management and exploration, scavenging locations like villages, farms, and sawmills while deciding how to approach each threat.

Features

• Turn-based combat paired with AI enemies that track, lose, and regain sight of the player
• Multiple succubi types, including distinct variants with their own animations
• Reworked locations (village, farm, sawmill, junkyard) built around enemy patrol behavior
• 2D character art presented in a dystopian, text-based interface
