Other versions

There are other versions of the game, Hordes (French) and Die Verdammten (German).

These versions contain different features, some of which are upcoming features for Die2Nite but at this point in development there are few differences remaining. There are however a few other differences and cut content in those verions.

Upcoming features

• Lost Souls

What happens to the soul of a citizen devoured by the hordes, she disappears to be reincarnated as a new victim, or it wanders in the Underworld? You will have the answer soon ...

Differences

• In the German version there were two replacements made at the first anniversary of "Die Verdammten":
  • Vodka Marinostov Vodka Marinostov has been replaced by Green Beer. It is functionally identical just a reskin. The fact that it is a green bottle is assumed to be a hint to the german beer "Beck's".
  • The Shady Bar was replaced with the ZomBEER Bar, this is a tribute to the biggest RP-Thread in the german world forums, where every hero could join and relax.

Hordes features

Hordes has a number of additional features that may be upcoming for Die2Nite. Most of these features have also been added to Die Verdammten.

• Sulphuric acid - found in an Old Field Hospital, allows many items to be dissolved with a chance of retaining the acid after use.

Private Towns

Private towns allow you to set a few options such as starting water, type of game, frequency of ghouls etc. They require 40 people to register for the town before they can begin and it is recommended to send out more than 40 invites.

Ghouls

Ghouls are generated periodically in town or you can find an item that will transform you, they must consume Human Flesh Human Flesh or preferably live victims to satisfy their hunger or risk starving to death. The town will actively try to kill them if discovered. You gain 1 hero day per citizen eaten and 2 per hero eaten. This is a short summary there are many other aspects of being a Ghoul.

• Corpse of a traveller - When eaten you become a Ghoul.
• Gnawed corpse - evidence that someone has eaten a corpse and become a ghoul.
• Ghoul vaccine - cure for being a ghoul, can be found in abandoned hospitals. (hordes only)

Day/Night effects

Die2Nite has a day and night cycle but currently this does not appear to have an effect on our version. Hordes has a penalty for searching at night which can be overcome by placing either a MagLite or a Bedside Lamp (on) Bedside Lamp (on) on the floor.

Unimplemented/joke content

These items have images on the servers and may possibly be in the item database but have never been available to players in the game. The may be unfinished items, cut items, admin items, or simply jokes to tease players.
