Details
The full picture
Written from verified facts; labels mark how strong each statement's evidence is.
What the game is
Online: 404 is a survival game released October 21, 2026 at $15.29.
It is set in an abandoned, quarantined district.
The design premise is realism about behaviour rather than realism about physics.
You act like a real person in today's world rather than a game character.
The smartphone
Your phone is both your best friend and your worst enemy.
It is your main survival tool, since you have no magic book of survival tips.
If you need to figure something out or craft an item, you look it up on the in-game internet.
It also carries a map, a flashlight, a weather forecast, annoying ads and plenty of unreliable information.
Use what is around you
You will not build a solar panel from scratch by following an online guide.
If you want electricity in your shelter, it is easier to take a panel off a nearby abandoned house.
The world is full of things that can help you stay alive if you look.
That shifts the loop from crafting trees to scavenging and improvisation.
Base and building
Wood is the main building material.
Your base can still be reinforced - for example by ripping a car door or hood off a wreck.
Fortification is therefore improvised from the environment rather than unlocked.
At $15.29 it is priced as a full indie survival game.
