Quarantine
A landlocked open world, currently shut in by the National Guard. There is no easy way in or out of this zombie quarantine.
Ashen County is open
Survive the zombie apocalypse
Deadtiles is a free multiplayer zombie survival game you play in the browser. The world fell to the dead. A few places still hold out, and everyone else scavenges what is left. You share Ashen County with other players. Stay fed, watered, and warm. Not even the clothes you wear are safe.
Play in the browser. Sign in with Phantom or Solflare.

DeadmarksCurrency still spends in Ashen County. Ship banknotes to your wallet as Deadmarks (DMRK).
01 / The County
Ashen County
Birchport
The National Guard controls the town and has created a safe zone for civilians. They are trying to establish some semblance of order again.
Factions
Different factions are vying for power and control over the county. Choose which factions to align with, and what paths to follow.
Rebuild
Survivors can team up and build their own communities, or join existing ones.
The zombie horde never sleeps
A bite can start an infection. So can raw meat. Antibiotics hold it down. Cities can carry far more of the dead than a rural road.
A world made of tiles
Settlements are generated, not hand-placed copies of each other. Learn a block, then walk until the streets stop matching.
02 / The body
What keeps you alive
Eat and drink
You wake up short on both. If either bar hits zero, you start losing health.
Stay warm
Open air, rain, and wet clothes pull your temperature down. A fire and dry layers pull it back.
Watch the bite
Untreated infection climbs. A course of antibiotics is what turns it around.
Work is the teacher
Strength, endurance, dexterity, intelligence, and charisma. Scavenge, craft, cook, fight, and barter to raise them.
Make it useful
Lockpick a door, cook a meal, read a page, or put up a structure. The county pays people who can do the job.
Don't get attached
Not even the clothes on your body are safe from other survivors.
03 / Factions
Three factions in Ashen County
National Guard posts
They still have posts across the country. Birchport is the hub for Ashen County: barracks, hospital, and street patrols, with a few smaller outposts out in the county. They keep the roads and the town. The traders handle the goods.
Red Order cities
City crews in red armbands. They take blocks, clear the buildings, and put survivors to work holding them. The National Guard does not run checkpoints on their streets. They live off what they seize, including Ashen caravans.
Ashen Trader caravans
A separate outfit from the Guard. They scavenge and buy from survivors, then move ammo, medicine, and food through the county. When a caravan is not passing, they keep stalls at National Guard posts, including the market in Birchport.
04 / Trade
Sell to the living
Carry it back
Food, ammo, medicine, and gear come off the roads and out of the buildings. That loot is how you stay alive and how other players restock.
Other players pay
List what you found. Survivors buy it with notes. Better standing with the Ashen Traders keeps more of the sale.
Spend them here
Deadmarks buy notes, rare blueprints, and property deeds.
05 / Deadmarks
Ship the notes east
Banknotes spend in the county. Ship them to the wallet you signed in with, and one note becomes one Deadmark (DMRK).
- The day's shipments are one shared pool.
- Better standing with the Ashen Traders gets a larger share.
- 250 notes is the minimum to ship east.
