Fall of Velm: Outbreak — co-op survival RPG in your browserVelm is behind the wall. A port, a rail yard, forty thousand people — and a Blight that does not kill a city but keeps it. Go in, bring back what you can carry, come out.
Velm was a working city. Forty thousand people, a port, a rail yard, and a research park on the hill that nobody asked questions about.
On the ninth of March the park stopped answering. By the twelfth the ring road was a wall.
The Blight does not kill a city. It keeps it — standing, walking, and hungry.
Nine months later the wall still holds. Everything inside it is salvage, and salvage needs people willing to go in.
You are one of them.
A port city built on freight: docks in the south, rail yard in the east, old town in the middle, and the terraced quarry that fed the concrete works. Forty-one thousand registered residents. The evacuation order reached eleven thousand of them. The rest are still inside, and most of them are still moving.
A cultured fungal strain, grown in Sector 12 for crop yield and never cleared for anything else. It does not eat a body — it moves in, keeps the heart going and takes the rest. Hosts stay warm, stay upright, and stay useful to it. That is why the city never went quiet.
The ring road was cut, mined and walled in nineteen days. It is not a siege line — it is a lid. There is no plan to retake Velm, no relief column, no cure programme. There is a wall, a licence office, and a price list.
One cycle is five waves. Then a checkpoint: extract with the loot or go deeper.
DEPLOYThe squad lands on the central plaza. The city is generated from a seed — new streets every run.
PREP · 60 sGather scrap and electronics, build barricades, spikes and turrets, seal a door. READY cuts the timer to 3 s.
WAVES 1–4The horde walks the streets through doors and breaks barricades. 14 seconds between waves to resupply.
WAVE 5Three phases: charge → frenzy + slam → summon. Guaranteed weapon, mods, a chance at a unique.
CHECKPOINTEXTRACT — bank the loot and leave. CONTINUE — deeper, meaner, priced accordingly.
The sector run is not the only one. Some modes are for loot, others for the score and the weekly board.
Prep, waves, a boss every fifth and a checkpoint: extract with the loot or go deeper. This is where XP, gear and sector reputation come from.
No waves, no breaks: the horde rings you from every side and grows every minute. Every kill drops an XP gem, every level gives one of three upgrades. Everyone fights at the same level with starter weapons: the score is skill. Every sector is open.
Score = kills + seconds. On Monday the week’s top three get cores — 1,500, 800 and 400 — and a weapon paint nobody can buy: gold, silver, bronze.
Double XP and loot, the boss trophy rolls twice. But if the hero falls or leaves the fight, the level drops to one and everything worn is deleted. No revives, for heroes or bots. Turned on only with a confirmation.
Every week has its modifier: the long night, fog, stampede (half the crowd runs), close quarters and more. Every three hours one sector gives ×1.5 loot for an hour.
A room code, the queue or friends from the list. The server runs the world itself, and a squad record goes on the board as confirmed.
You are not army. You hold a salvage licence: you go over the wall, you bring back what you can carry, and you are paid by weight and rarity.
Rifles, grenades and adrenaline. Holds the line and pushes it forward.

A drill, a hard hat and forty years underground. Fights up close, slams the ground and brings the roof down on the horde.
Toughest up closeEvery drill hit brings the next Quake sooner175HP195Speed100%Damage3ArmorEvery sector is around a hundred screens with its own environment. Streets are rebuilt for every run, and the same seed gives the same city.
09Starting sectorEighty screens of dead city: streets, blocks, shops and houses you can enter and barricade. Radiation spikes close off blocks; the horde comes from every exit and manhole.
07Level 1A marshalling yard on the quarantine line. A wagon is a wall and the gap between two is a door.
04Level 3Industrial district: warehouses, container yards, fuel dumps. Long sightlines, few doors.
02Level 4Office blocks packed wall to wall. Alleys one step wide, and nowhere to run that the horde cannot follow.
12Level 6Residential blocks swallowed by the blight: spore fields where the yards used to be, and something in riot armor guarding it all.
08Level 7Everything under one roof, and the roof is the problem. One long gallery, shop units either side, holes in the floor.
30Level 10A freight port gone under. Canals, bridges, piers. You can shoot across the water. Nothing walks across it.
21Level 5A mountain resort the forest took back. The hotel, cabins in the pines, a drained lake — and the horde walks straight out of the trees.
17Level 11Two extremes on one map: a runway that shows you everything and hangars that show you nothing. Wire stops bodies, not bullets.
25Level 9New: a travelling circus behind the wall. A big top with a ring in the middle, the midway, the wagon camp and the menagerie — and its own troupe of dead: clowns, mimes, jugglers, strongmen.
Some hosts it does not spend. It builds them: thickens the plates, fuses the joints, and gives them a job. The Warden holds a line. The Shepherd holds a pack. The Usurper takes what you built and turns it around. They are not commanders. They are organs, and the city is what they belong to.
Charge, ground slam and a call for the brood — the first one you meet
Stuns with a scream, blinks across the arena and calls in support
Lays eggs and screams: leave them and you fight the whole arena
Walks mortar fire across the ground and scorches what is left
Burrows and comes up under you with a shockwave
Plates shrug off everything except the moment it swings
Holds a shield line: while the wall stands, damage barely lands
Takes what you built and turns it around
Tethers thralls to itself and heals off their lives
A beam sweeps the arena; in the second phase there are two eyes
Inhales everything it can reach and finishes with mortars
Armour opens only while both floor plates are held down
Every second it and the horde move faster — and never slow down
No eyes: it strikes wherever the last sound came from
The ring closes in with it until there is nowhere left to stand
Solo, with one or two bot companions, or a full squad online. One simulation, one city for everyone.
Down without a medkit: 24 seconds while someone is standing. Hold interact nearby — two revive twice as fast, a medic in about two seconds.
G hands 5 scrap and 1 electronics to the nearest ally. The engineer builds the turret, everyone else hauls.
WRENCH (engineer), HAVOC (assault) and DOC (medic) — take up to three when the squad did not show.
A standing squad with a shared stash across six materials, weekly tasks and its own table. Join one and the sector stops being solo work.
A marker on the ground the whole squad sees: here, danger, regroup. Couplers keep two operatives together — drift apart and both pay for it.
The waves do not run out. Nerve does: every checkpoint asks one question — leave with the haul, or go deeper.
EXTRACT — take what you carry and get out. CONTINUE — the next lap: higher level enemies, bigger rewards, and no promise you reach the next way out.
Five tiers per sector, and each one is a different rule of engagement rather than a multiplier. You rebuild the loadout instead of shooting the same silhouettes for longer.
The squad goes down and part of the haul stays in Velm. That is what makes "five more waves" a bet and the extraction button a decision.
The leaderboard does not trust the client: every run summary is checked for plausibility — time against wave count, damage ceilings. Co-op runs are marked verified.
Six professions, forty-six recipes and four buildings that grow with you. Credits have somewhere to go after the cap.
Scavenging, mining, harvesting, gunsmith, engineer, chemist. Levels, mastery and specialisation — an RPG profession, not a recipe list in the corner.
Craft and upgrade gear. The upgrade branch unlocks things loot never drops at all.
Storage is stash slots, the radio room is one more contract in hand. Buildings are permanent: they outlive any run and any wipe.
A talent point for work done, not for a level. If the build does not work out, a token resets the tree.
The street is not scenery. Almost everything standing can be set alight, blown up or breached — and the map is different afterwards.
A grenade under the hood: intact, smoking, gone. A second and a half of fuse is your window to leave — or to walk the horde into it. The wreck and the burning pool stay.
Two or three grenades in the same spot open a hole two bodies wide. That is a new entrance and a new line of fire, and the horde learns about it before you get to use it.
Long Night — a torch, a cone of light and a third more credits. Fogbank — they notice you later and hit harder for it. Rich Seam, Bad Blood, Range Week.
Houses can be entered and barricaded, roofs can be climbed. From up there you see the street; from down there they do not see you.
The game is free. The store carries Velm Pass, skins and cores.
A mode without waves: the horde never stops and keeps growing, kills drop XP gems, and every level offers one of three upgrades. Everyone fights at the same level with starter weapons, and your profile is untouched. The week’s top three win cores and a paint nobody can buy.
Double XP and loot. But if the hero falls or leaves the fight, the level drops back to one and everything worn is deleted. Nobody can be revived, hero or bot: no kits, no lifting, no beacon. It is turned on separately, with a confirmation.
No. The game runs in the browser on phone and desktop. On a phone it goes fullscreen in landscape.
Desktop: WASD to move, mouse to aim, LMB/Space to fire, R reload, Q/E abilities, F medkit, B build. On a phone: left stick moves, right stick aims and fires, with RLD, MED, BLD, MARK, RUN and two ability buttons beside it. Tap the weapon panel to swap weapons.
The profile lives in your browser. With an account it syncs to the cloud and is the same on every device.
Solo with two bot companions, or a squad of up to six.
Yes. Velm Pass, skins and cores are sold in the store and give no combat advantage.
Yes — vk.fovgame.com. Sign-in there is your VK profile only: no registration, no email, no password. Purchases are paid in VK votes. Account and progress are shared with the site.
Part of the run haul. Base buildings, professions and account level stay with you — what you lose is what you did not carry out.
Yes. The squad joins by code, the simulation is shared, the device does not matter.
The salvage licence is issued on the spot. First sector: Old Town.
