We spent months rebuilding Stay Dead, and now we’re digging into the mechanic that might carry the whole game: the Bite.

This devlog is not about finished features. It’s a peek into our design process: the systems we scrapped, the sandbox we built, and the weird experiments we’re running to make the Bite feel like more than just a zombie trope.

• Why we scrapped our first Bite designs
• The “aha” moment that changed everything
• What we learned by biting everything in the game
• A raw look at our prototyping process
