What is Ebbtide?
Ebbtide is a real-time zombie survival strategy game developed and published by ProjectAlive, coming to Steam for Windows and macOS. You command TF-1 Ark, a carrier task force built around humanity's last aircraft carrier, starting in a Los Angeles overrun by more than a million zombies.
The operations map is the battlefield: scroll into any street and it becomes the live 3D pixel-art fight with no loading screen, while scrolling back out keeps the battle running. Los Angeles is split into 15 districts that slide from Hold to Crisis to Lost, and a hive mind called the Nexus ambushes your convoys and cuts your supply roads.

Everything on This Site
Six pages, all written from the Steam store page and official API data. No invented dates, no invented stats — anything unpublished is labelled as such.
Is This the Right Ebbtide?
A women's health product, a 1994 Australian film and a dictionary word all share this name. Start here so you know which Ebbtide this site is about.
Release Status
The Steam API returns coming_soon with no date attached. Here is exactly what that means and what has to change before a date appears.
System Requirements
Windows 10 64-bit, DirectX 11 and 10 GB are confirmed. The CPU and GPU lines are still literally To Be Announced — including on the Mac side.
Core Mechanics
The map is the battlefield, the horde is a hive mind, and supply lines are the thing most players will lose to first.
Arsenal and Units
Every unit, aircraft, artillery piece and base structure ProjectAlive has named in the store page — with the numbers left blank because they are unpublished.
How Ebbtide Compares
Closest neighbours are They Are Billions and the modern zombie RTS wave — but the carrier campaign and the district map are not the same design.
