Project Zomboid is the ultimate in zombie survival. Alone or in MP: you loot, build, craft, fight, farm and fish in a struggle to survive. A hardcore RPG skillset, a vast map, massively customisable sandbox and a cute tutorial raccoon await the unwary. So how will you die? All it takes is a bite..
RPG Gamers summaryProject Zomboid is a hardcore, open-ended sandbox game that explores the theme of zombie survival. The game takes place in the towns of Muldraugh and West Point where survivors are left to fend for themselves against hordes of the undead. As players navigate the game’s vast and growing map, they must loot houses, build defences and employ their own cunning to stay alive day by day. The game features a full line of sight and real-time lighting, sound and visibility mechanics which compel players to hide in the shadows and keep quiet, or at least hang sheets over the windows at night. The game also includes vehicles with full physics and deep and realistic gameplay mechanics, as well as an extensive crafting system that allows players to build zombie-proof forts by chopping trees, sawing wood and searching for supplies. Players must deal with a range of challenges, such as depression, boredom, hunger, thirst and illness, which get progressively more complex as the game progresses. While the game boasts a ton of amazing atmospheric music tracks by the Zach Beever, it also provides full, open and powerful Lua modding support. The game is currently planned to include NPC encounters driven in a persistent world, powered by a metagame system that turns each play-through into your very own zombie survival movie with emergent narrative gameplay. Additionally, constant expansion of the countryside and cities around Muldraugh and West Point is in the works. Finally, the game aims to include full wilderness survival systems, animals and hunting for food, more items, crafting recipes, weapons and gameplay systems, as well as Steam Workshop and Achievements support.
