Aftermath Z: Red Pine Lake Prepares for Kickstarter Launch

The asymmetric survival horror game Aftermath Z: Red Pine Lake is gearing up for its Kickstarter campaign launching this February. Developed by Sakura Studios, the game blends 80s slasher vibes with innovative multiplayer gameplay that pits camp counselors against a relentless slasher.

Players can expect a tense, nostalgic horror experience featuring the unique Undead Minion System, where fallen players return as undead minions to help the slasher hunt others, keeping the action intense for everyone.

What to look forward to:

  • Asymmetric multiplayer: 1 slasher vs. multiple counselors
  • Retro 80s horror aesthetics with synth soundtrack and VHS-style effects
  • Planned single-player story mode
  • Earnable skins and cosmetics without paywalls or battle passes
  • Special in-game events around Halloween, summer, and Christmas
  • Seamless first- and third-person perspective toggle

The game will be available on PC via Steam, with potential releases on other platforms. The Kickstarter will offer exclusive rewards and early access for backers.

Quote from Studio Lead TJ: “Our Kickstarter will help bring Aftermath Z to life, expanding this cozy yet chilling slice of survival horror that players will love.”
