About the Game

When the RHAB-14 virus broke out, the world fell within weeks. Cities went silent, order collapsed, and humanity turned into restless, mutated creatures driven by hunger and rage.

Years later, civilization is nothing but a fading memory. Nature has reclaimed the land, power grids lie in ruins, and every single day is a struggle for survival.

In Ardem, you decide who to trust, where to take shelter, and how to survive in a world where every breath could be your last.

Ardem is an immersive open-world survival RPG that throws you into a virus-ravaged, fully interactive world. Alone or with friends, explore abandoned places, scavenge for resources, build bases, repair vehicles, and restore electricity to revive the remains of civilization—or let them fade into darkness forever.

Ardem in Detail

World

Explore a 64 km² handcrafted world filled with unique locations, hidden paths, and the decaying remnants of a once-thriving civilization. Every corner tells its own story — from overgrown villages to sunken cities.

The world reacts to your actions: repair bridges, restore power networks, or secure new territories. Every decision leaves a mark on the environment, creating a living world that evolves with your every move.

Electricity

In Ardem, electricity isn’t a given — it’s survival.

Every building and base can be fully powered if you can generate or find a suitable energy source. Use gasoline, wind, or solar power to bring your network to life.

Once the power flows, your world awakens: lamps glow, garage doors open, and sockets hum again. Electricity means comfort, safety, and control in a world long lost to darkness.

Vehicles

Vehicles are more than transportation — they’re survival tools.

Use them to traverse dangerous regions, haul heavy cargo, or move allies across the wasteland. Every vehicle requires maintenance, repair, and upgrades to stay functional.

Customize and enhance them with add-ons to fit your strategy — from a simple off-road car to a heavily armored transport rig, every vehicle becomes a part of your survival story.

Food and Survival

Decide how you’ll feed yourself.

The world offers countless ways to survive: gather plants, hunt wildlife, fish in lakes, or cultivate your own crops. Each method carries its own risks and rewards depending on your preparation and environment.

Food isn’t just energy — it’s stability, progress, and the foundation of long-term survival.

Base Building

Build your refuge the way you envision it.

Ardem’s dynamic building system gives you full freedom over how and where you construct. Your base protects you from weather, infected, and other players — and grows into a true home as you expand it.

Connect it to your power grid, decorate with hundreds of unique objects, and create a space that feels safe before venturing back into the wild.

Continuous Development

Ardem will continue to grow with regular updates and new features, ensuring a living, ever-evolving experience for years to come.
