What is Ebbtide?

Ebbtide is a single-player zombie survival real-time strategy game from ProjectAlive. Set in a collapsing Los Angeles, it puts you in command of the last carrier task force and asks you to rescue survivors while holding ground against massive zombie hordes.

You can fight directly as a survivor on the ground, then pull back to an overhead command view to direct infantry squads, M2 Abrams tanks, AH-6M Little Bird helicopters, and artillery. Forward operating bases, rooftop defenses, evacuation routes, and layered fallback positions turn each operation into a contest of positioning and supply.

FOBPlace forward operating bases where reinforcements can arrive and units can retreat.
RooftopsUse elevated firing positions to multiply effective force and cover street approaches.
StagingKeep armor repaired and ready at a vehicle staging area near the line.

LayersBuild in depth rather than a single wall that fails at one point.
