Does the base keep gathering supplies while I'm away?

Yes. It is an idle game, so your survivors, gardens, workshops and convoys keep gathering supplies while the tab is closed. You collect offline supplies when you return.

How do I rebuild from a wanderer to a new dawn?

Buy auto-producing base assets — Survivor, Trap, Garden, Watchtower, Workshop, Clinic, Wall and Generator — to grow your supply output, then advance through Wanderer, Camp, Settlement, Fortress and New Dawn for permanent multipliers.

Zombie SurvivalIdle / IncrementalApocalypseNo download

Idle Survivors is a free idle zombie survival browser game you play with no download. Start by scavenging supplies by hand, then build auto-producing base assets — Survivor, Trap, Garden, Watchtower, Workshop, Clinic, Scout Car and Wall — that gather and defend around the clock. It is a true zombie survival incremental: your stockpile keeps snowballing while you are away.

If you want an apocalypse idle game that respects your time — no install, no signup, no pay-to-win — this is built for exactly that. Fend off the horde with reinforced walls and an armory, power up generators and a radio tower, and rebuild from a lone Wanderer through Settlement and Fortress all the way to a New Dawn.

About the game, how to play & FAQ

How to play Idle Survivors

Scavenge (tap): click the main button to gather supplies by hand — useful early and while saving for your first base assets, with occasional lucky finds.
Build the base: buy auto-producers (Survivor, Trap, Garden, Watchtower, Workshop, Clinic, Scout Car, Wall, Generator, Convoy, Greenhouse…) that yield supplies every second. Every tenth purchase hits a milestone multiplier.
Research upgrades: unlock boosts like Sharp Spears, Militia, Supply Lines and Rebuild to multiply one asset or your whole base's output.
Advance tiers: reach each supply floor to rise from Wanderer to Camp, Settlement, Fortress and New Dawn — each grants a permanent global multiplier.
Idle / offline: close the tab and your base keeps gathering — collect offline supplies when you return.

Tips

Always push toward the next tier — advancing multiplies everything, so it usually beats hoarding for one expensive asset. Use the ×10 / ×100 / Max buy buttons to spend supplies efficiently, and grab every global-output upgrade (Militia, Supply Lines, Rebuild) the moment it unlocks.
