Overview
Better Red Than Undead is a tactical squad-focused tabletop RPG set in an alternate 1920 where new fronts have opened up in the Russian Civil War, and the dead refuse to stay buried. Using the step-dice variant of the Year Zero Engine (YZE), players navigate high-risk missions using a tactical hexcrawl system. Stress, infection, and horde mechanics introduce constant pressure, as even a single mistake can have lasting consequences.
The World
After the first reports of the Grey Plague were confirmed, the rest of the world moved quickly to seal Russia off for good. The ensuing blockades and embargoes ensured that neither ship nor salvation would ever come for those trapped inside. But despite the quarantine, the war continues. Embattled Bolsheviks fend off Finnish nationalists to the north, while the Japanese army lays claim to Tsarist territories in the east. Meanwhile, Anarchist upstarts and Khorasani rebels seize their chances in the chaos. And everywhere, the dead haunt the living.
Visual language & interface
We designed a clean, modern interface that supports readability and trust, balancing technical depth with visual simplicity.
Scalable design system
We created a flexible component-based system that allows the team to easily add new pages and sections as the product grows.
Result
The redesigned website clearly communicates the product’s value, improves user engagement, and provides a strong visual foundation for future growth.
“The new design finally makes our product easy to understand. It feels structured, modern, and much more aligned with how we work.”
