About the Game
MISERY is a co-op rogue-lite survival game.
You play as PMCs guarding a secret research institute in the Republic of Zaslavie.
The Scientific Institute for Research of the Zaslavie Exclusion Zone (SIRZEZ) was built before the war to study anomalies and artifacts. Over time, these artifacts became the cause of conflict between international military blocs. Neither side could allow artifacts to fall into enemy hands, ultimately leading to nuclear war.
A siren sounds — a nuclear bomb is incoming! You have 60 seconds to grab whatever you can and make it to the bunker. Then, the survival begins. Each day, you venture into the Exclusion Zone to scavenge procedurally generated locations: abandoned military bases and research stations, radioactive wastelands, and ruined cities.
The Zone is full of secrets and deadly traps, and radiation is far from the only threat.
You’ll encounter other survivors ready to kill for food and resources, weird mutated creatures with unique behaviors, and various anomalies.

No one knows how exactly anomalies work or their origin. Some phenomena can help you, others will tear you apart. Anomaly areas often hide artifacts — rare, valuable items distorted by anomalies and charged with unique effects.

The bunker is your new home.
Expand it room by room: install generators (gas, solar, or gnome-powered), build crafting stations, grow food, cook meals, and decorate your shelter with whatever you drag back from raids: a table, a dresser, a worn-out sofa, or even a cozy rug. Don’t worry, the previous owners won’t be needing them anymore.
After each raid, you can unwind and chill at the bar in the basement of the institute: have a drink, talk to other survivors, and trade your loot and rare artifacts with the merchant.

Remember, watch your vitals.
In the Zone, people can easily die from hunger, thirst, radiation sickness, or lose their minds and turn on their teammates. Go out looting during the day, and return to bunker before nightfall.
And one last thing: the Zone plays with your mind. Too much stress and you’ll start hearing whispers, seeing things that aren’t there, and feeling someone watching you. Lose your grip, and not even the bunker will save you. Nothing will.
Life in MISERY isn’t easy.
But there’s nothing better than going through it all together.
Exploring bandos with friends, watching each other’s backs, sitting by the fire, drinking whatever’s left, and exhaling smoke into the cold rain — in moments like these, you can feel alive again!

Locks. Now you can craft and set up padlocks to lock doors and containers to keep your stuff safe and restrict entrance to rooms in your bunker. Or exit – the choice is yours.
Masks and hats are now separate items, so you can wear a gas mask and a ushanka at the same time.
Items now have stats in the description so you can compare the damage and protection of your gear.
Drag-and-drop swap in inventory added.
Hardcore mode respawn fix. Now it really is a one-life mode.
Crawfish are now more vulnerable to melee weapons.
Dwarves keep their inventory after shinings.
Crafting stations overflow bug fixed. Your grilled cockroaches are now safe!
Traders are now showing item stats.
Baba Yaga hut instakill bug fixed.
New locations in the City and Nuclear Bunker biomes.
New posters.
Cigs are now 20 stack
Military rig fixed
Various bug fixes and improvements (including seasons, which, in fact, were not fixed enough in the last update, and we already sent the comrade dev to GULAG again).
We are still working on the new content update and improved building systems for the next update. Please stay tuned for the upcoming news!

We also wanted to share some news about the recent Free Weekend event. More than 600k new survivors joined the Zone over the weekend, skyrocketing CCU to over 18,500 and putting MISERY on the Steam front page.
We are incredibly grateful for such interest from players and thank you for all the support, valuable feedback, and ideas you share with us. As always, we read ALL the comments and form our roadmap in accordance with our vision and your feedback. However, such exposure and a no-cost barrier brought in some troll reviews, together with really great constructive critique and kind words.

You can really help us by writing a review based on your real experience, just to balance out trolls (positive or negative – up to you!). Ratings are extremely important for indie games like MISERY, and Zaslavie will appreciate your help here!

The team continues working on the new Factory biome, new monsters, gear, hazards, and artifacts. It is a big chunk of work, and we want it to be polished and interesting, so please bear with us here – it will be worth it! You can already see a new level of detail in new locations. That will be a base level for the new biome, and eventually, we will rework and improve all the current locations.
This is our main goal at the moment, but in the meantime, we will release smaller updates that add new content to the game.
For Zaslavie!
Fixed shooting during animations
Fixed aiming issues
Fixed a bug with initial season setup
Fixed a bug with the mannequin chest
Various small fixes and improvements in UI and mechanics
It should not disappear with all your hard earned gear anymore.
The comrade who made these faulty mannequins will spend 1 day in GULAG for this fault and all his gear was reclaimed by the state.
