Contagion is a cooperative survival horror FPS built on the latest Source Engine where players are forced to watch their ammo and aim carefully otherwise be overrun by the zombie hordes. Players will face traditional zombies as well as former teammates who have been turned themselves and now see not friend but fuel to keep the carnage going.

  • Play alone, with a friend, friends, or with a group either offline or online.
  • You begin your story as a survivor but how long until your taste buds hunger for flesh?
  • Randomly generated weapon, ammo, and item placement.
  • Unpredictable and intelligent zombie spawning system that adjusts to the players actions.
  • A pathing and objective system that has you returning to the same map repeatedly with a fresh feel to it.
  • Full Steamworks support.
  • More information coming soon.

During this past week we've had a few announcements that we are happy to share with you today! We've been quite busy working on getting Contagion up to par and while we've shared a few screenshots here and there we haven't talked about much else behind the scenes.


Contagion's Official Steam Shop & Group!

Many have been wondering when Contagion will be available on steam and while the game isn't on sale yet we are happy to announce you will be able to see Contagion coming to you this Fall!  With our Contagion Steam Shop setup we also have our Official Steam Group which you can follow for all the latest updates and news about Contagion! This also includes our official Steam community Hub linked to the group.


Contagion & Pax 10

Although we won't be officially attending PAX again this year as the lint in our pockets wasn't convincing enough, we have entered Contagion in the PAX 10 competition. Which is a competition for indies to win a chance to showcase their game at this years PAX Prime. So that means, should we win, we will receive a kiosk to demo the game. We have our fingers crossed!



Zombie Panic: Source & SteamPipe

Now in other Monochrome news, the Zombie Panic: Source Steam page will be getting a facelift soon as well as we transition to Steam's new content management system, "SteamPipe." This new system will allow us to roll out updates easier and include some performance benefits to players.

Benefits include:

  • Faster and smoother downloads
  • Faster game boot times and map load times
  • Smoother dedicated server distribution and update rollover

More info soon as we convert over to the new system.


Aurora Estates Screenshots!

If you've missed them we've posted a few new screenshots the past couple weeks from one of Contagion's maps "Aurora". There will be plenty more to come! Here's a small recap:

After a day and a half of tracking your game I'm becoming a fan of you :D . What I will love to see are zombies like the ones of Dawn of the Dead remake (my favourite movie EVER). No game has ever done that kind of zombies as far as I know, and they are the more challenging ones.

Well, gonna think more ideas for later ;) .

seems interesting so police detective or undercover and just a regular cop or some higher rank. i never play ZPS but i have played half life 1 and 2. I looked at the images and videos everything looks nice but i don't like the fact of the inmates looking very similar with very minor differences to each other or what are they supposed to be all related to each other and the hummer worries me a lil because unless it is on equal standards with military grade then it is no good for mowing down zombies or driving around for a while and also don't make ammo to limited nor all over the place but those are just my opinions. Judging by the jobs of the characters i am guessing police grade weapons and also illegal confiscated weapons and possible melee with handcuffs, riot shields, billy clubs, and other things. Also i am not sure how you are going to play out your zombies making them smart,fast,strong,slow, only respond to sound or can see and hear, weak. Well Don't give up on it and keep up good work and i will track it.

hopefully the characters make sense. i see a police officer and other police items and equipment. that is a good direction. a teenage girl who handles a gun like a pro ala left4dead doesn't add much to the suspension of disbelief. of course i don't know what this game is going for, hopefully it won't be a snooze fest like left4dead1/2

I'll agree with comeback bullet push back and the amounts of ammo are a bit annoying.

However the zombies still win quite often (especially on event nights on TDR :P )

Relax guys. Free or not, it's quite alright to voice your opinion. It is thanks to the community that ZPS is still the top HL2 mod. As I stated before though, we're still working to improve ZPS and address issues that have been brought up (many we already have for our next release). Contagion is also not ZPS but like we said a spiritual successor with a fresh team so that both projects can be developed simultaneously. Thanks for everyones enthusiasm and interest :D
