Ebbtide is a zombie survival strategy game from ProjectAlive. The official Steam description places you in command of TF-1 Ark, the last carrier task force, beginning in a Los Angeles overrun by the dead. You direct forces on a real-time operations map, then move into a 3D pixel-art battlefield to command the fight or take direct control.
The Steam listing describes a continuous operations map with pausing and simulation speeds up to 4x, 15 Los Angeles districts that can move between Hold, Crisis and Lost, and a later world campaign aboard the Ark. Rescued personnel, troops, equipment and supplies are described as contributing to your starting force. Ebbtide is listed as Coming soon; no exact release date is established.

Get oriented with the announced systems: TF-1 Ark, the Los Angeles campaign, and the move between the operations map and direct battlefield control. The guide distinguishes confirmed Steam description details from untested strategy.
The official description confirms a continuous operations map, zooming into street-level battles without loading screens, pausing, simulation speeds up to 4x, line-of-sight limits and persistent battlefield consequences. These are announced systems, not a tested tactical method.
The announced Los Angeles campaign has 15 districts that can move between Hold, Crisis and Lost. Steam names National Guard, LAPD and LA County Sheriff units, Marine reinforcements, and truck or helicopter convoys carrying troops, supplies and refugees. No optimal rescue order is established.
Steam lists infantry squads, tanks, Bradleys, LAVs, Humvees, and Apache and Viper helicopters. It also describes squad formations, combat stances, helicopter deployment and a TAB command for taking direct control of soldiers, tanks or helicopters. No damage or performance ranking is published.
The announced fire-support options include M777 howitzers, HIMARS rockets, naval guns, Tomahawk missiles, carrier aircraft, and supporting gunships or drones. The developer states that heavy weapons can destroy buildings and that ship magazines have finite ammunition. No damage values or cooldowns are established.
Forward operating bases are described with defensive walls, gates, scaffolding, gun nests, CIWS, mortar pits, ammunition depots and fuel points. Units require ammunition and fuel, and construction materials must arrive by truck or helicopter. No verified base layout or resource formula is published.
After the Los Angeles evacuation, the announced campaign continues aboard TF-1 Ark. Rescued personnel, surviving troops, equipment and supplies contribute to the starting force, while later operations involve regional assistance, friendly ports, allied warships and the search for Nexus command nodes. No complete mission list is established.
Steam lists Ebbtide as Coming soon. The Windows requirements show Windows 10 64-bit, DirectX 11 and 10 GB of storage, with processor and graphics details still to be announced; macOS support identifies Apple Silicon with final requirements pending. Controller support is not verified.
