Welcome to the Qu Zone — a mysterious, shifting dead zone that silently disrupts electronics and swallows the unprepared. After wandering too deep into the Hoh Rainforest, you're cut off from the world, with no way to call for help. Your casual hike has turned into a uber-serious hike. Stranded in the Qu Zone , you must locate a military exfil point before your 30 days run out and be there the exact day the evac arrives. The forest is vast and procedurally generated for every run, hiding crucial clues, resources, and secrets among the trees. Choose your route wisely. Turn-based roguelike with deep survival systems: Classic RPG stats: Shape your character with Strength, Wisdom, Intelligence, and Luck. Crafting and trading: Build tools and barter with other survivors (or smugglers). Dynamic hazards: Forage for food and water, maintain your sanity, survive animal attacks, and avoid natural disasters. Inventory & health management: Balance risk vs reward with limited space and fragile health. Set in a dark parallel version of modern-day Washington State , Qu Zone draws inspiration in tone and mechanics from classic roguelikes. As you explore, you'll uncover journals, gear, and evidence left behind by previous survivors, and by those who exploit the zone’s electronic silence to traffic drugs, weapons, or worse. Discover who survives here, and avoid being someone who tried and failed. 


Notes: This game concerns survival in an area that is prone to drug smuggling. While generally avoidable, there are scenes where you fight to defend yourself from wild animals, and can optionally fight drug smugglers. The player also has the option to consume stimulants for buffs to their attack speed.
