Abstract

In modern society, due to the development of human technology and video games, many people have started to know and play video games. One of the main reasons is that video games are a form of entertainment that only requires a computer or a phone, making them a popular activity to do when tired, relaxing, or just passing time. Additionally, there are many types of video games, including sandbox, real-time strategy, shooters, multiplayer online battle arenas, role-playing games, simulations, sports games, puzzlers, party games, action-adventure games, survival games, and platforms. However, survival games are not as well-known as some other types of games. They are a wide category of games that are set in a wide map and force the player to start an adventure with limited equipment. The main parts of a survival game include the background, character, plot, art design, game concept, and design. The way to investigate survival games is through a review of relevant literature and articles. Therefore, the conclusion of this research paper will be a summary of the game design and art style of survival games.
