Evil Next Door tells the stories of civilians trapped in a disaster zone with no way out.
Ensk Studio is happy to announce Evil Next Door, a new game focused on the survival of a group of civilians in a small post-Soviet town cut off from the outside world because of a deadly disease outbreak. The player can switch between several characters, gather food and fuel, and defend from marauders to make sure that the group survives and hopefully escapes Ensk. Sometimes he or she meets other people playing online and intervenes in their activities or even invites them to take cover in the player’s shelter. Evil Next Door is developed for PC by the Ensk Studio team.
Ensk is a small town that became the center of a mysterious epidemic that turned people into bloodthirsty lunatics. While scientists look for the cure, the government is enforcing the strictest quarantine possible. All roads were blocked and soldiers got the order to shoot on sight at anybody trying to leave Ensk. But life is still going on inside the quarantine perimeter, in the world of gloomy paneled houses, rusty old cars, and the broken asphalt. Those who avoided infection stick together, take cover behind the steel doors of their apartments, and sometimes dare to go out looking for supplies. The food and fuel reserves in the town are limited, and winter is coming to Ensk soon. While exploring the town, survivors remember one simple rule: viruses are not the only thing that turns neighbors into monsters.
Evil Next Door is a story about civilians that one day wake up and realize that they are now trapped in hell. It’s easy to survive if you are a special forces soldier. But what about a TV presenter, a grocery store cashier, or a pensioner? A schoolgirl might find an assault rifle, but she might be too weak to handle it properly. The player determines how to use the strengths of each character on the team to get everyone to last at least one more day in Ensk. This won’t be easy, especially because character deaths in Evil Next Door are permanent.
