Incremental survival horror invites you to eat the world, starting now with an amuse-bouche demo ahead of Nov 16’s main course (spoiler, it’s braaaaaaains)
London, UK (07/10/2026) – Ten Image Publishing announced Night of the Idle Horde, an incremental survival horror game from developer, myradann. The demo is available now on Steam here. The full game launches Nov 16 for £4.59 / $4.99 / €5.19 here. The announcement trailer below.
Eat the world. Night of the Idle Horde invites players to build their very own horde of flesh eating zombies, spread the infection across regions and topple humanity in this incremental idler. For players who want to pause their braaaaains, switch to Desktop Mode and customise the layout as you let the apocalypse happen in the corner of your screen.
- Spend resources on permanent zombie upgrades or overwhelm enemies with a horde of cheap (expendable) flesh eaters
- Automate brain collection with rats, crows, bats and chickens as mini resource harvesters, then upgrade their abilities to collect resources offline
- Hunt down humanity’s last settlements by toppling Regions, each with their own Game Changer modifier system
- Play tactically and organise your horde layout for maximum effectiveness; put Spitters behind Brutes, let Runners lead the charge and move your minions on the fly
- Unlock Sigils, dark magic that can temporarily boost stats or summon allies to overwhelm enemy defences
- Zombie types, automations, mutations, Sigils, Regions. Choose how the end of the world arrives
- Desktop Mode allows players to brighten up their spreadsheets with mini carnage
The demo is available now on Steam, featuring 5 zombie types, 5 automations, 14 mutations, 5 Sigils and 1 Region. The full game launches on November 16.
Drenched in pixel blood, guts and viscera, Night of the Idle Horde takes inspiration from one of the most beloved zombie films of all time, Night of the Living Dead, which celebrated its 59th anniversary since its US release on Oct 4, 1968.
Developer myradann said, “Night of the Idle Horde is a love letter to B-movie horror classics, and much like a world ending virus, it’s evolved throughout its development time with feedback from the community. I’m incredibly proud of how well the game walks the line between background idler and challenging incremental game.”
The demo is available now on Steam. The full game launches Nov 16 for £4.59 / $4.99 / €5.19.
