Project Zomboid
Description
Project Zomboid is an open-ended zombie-infested sandbox. It asks one simple question – how will you die?
In the towns of Muldraugh and West Point, survivors must loot houses, build defences and do their utmost to delay their inevitable death day by day. No help is coming – their continued survival relies on their own cunning, luck and ability to evade a relentless horde.
Already available features:
- Hardcore Sandbox Zombie Survival Game with a focus on realistic survival.
- Online multiplayer survival with persistent player run servers.
- Local 4 player split-screen co-op
- Hundreds of zombies with swarm mechanics and in-depth visual and hearing systems.
- Full line of sight system and real-time lighting, sound and visibility mechanics.
- Hide in the shadows, keep quiet and keep the lights off at night, or at least hang - sheets over the windows.
- Vast and growing map (loosely based on a real world location) for you to explore, loot and set up your fortress. Check out Blindcoder’s map project: http://pzmap.crash-override.net/
- Use tools and items to craft weapons, barricade and cook. You can even build zombie proof forts by chopping trees, sawing wood and scavenging supplies.
- Deal with depression, boredom, hunger, thirst and illness while trying to survive.
- Day turns to night. The electricity falters. Hordes migrate. Winter draws in. Nature gradually starts to take over.
- Farming, trapping, fishing, carpentry, cooking, trapping, character customization, skills and perks that develop based on what you do in-game.
- Proper zombies that don’t run. (Unless you tell them to in the sandbox menu).
- A ton of amazing atmospheric music tracks by the prodigy that is Zach Beever.
- Imaginative Challenge scenarios and instant action ‘Last Stand’ mode, on top of regular Sandbox and Survival.
- Full, open and powerful Lua modding support.
- Xbox Controller Gamepad support on Windows. [Others pads can be set up manually. Gamepad support not currently available on Mac]
Planned Features:
- The return of our PZ Stories mode that also serves as first ever tutorial actively trying to kill you at every turn. Kate and Baldspot return!
- In-depth and varied 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.
- Constant expansion of the countryside and cities around Muldraugh and West Point.
- Full wilderness survival systems, animals and hunting for food.
- More items, crafting recipes, weapons and gameplay systems.

Interesting but buggy, neither too good nor too bad
I'm still learning the game but I noticed that it's buggy. That's unfortunate because often these bugs cost the life of your character. So you play several hours, stumble on a bug and boom - game over. I would advise you if you want the game to wait for at least 50% discount. Don't go for less.

Games seems broken
Played this on and off for some time and never noticed the issues i'm now getting. Screens pop up randomly when you cursor is nowhere near them, blocking your view, Zombies disappear when your look even slightly off centre and the combat system as well as the stealth are just a joke. In stealth seen from miles away, ends up easier just to run about. In combat, never seem to be able to hit, even the tutorial is dodgy with aiming for the head on the ground you miss more than you hit. Never used to be like this.

Closest thing to being Robert Neville
Wonderful game, wonderful developers. Project Zomboid is likely the most faithful video game portrayal of Romero's Americana zombie fiction, it also shares a similar ambiance to I Am Legend, the daily routine of a seasoned survivor being not too dissimilar to that of Robert Neville. You are pitted against hunger, thirst, mental deterioration, fear, time, exhaustion, erosion, weather and more, then along with all that the neighbours want their pound of flesh. Currently zombies are the most prevalent threat, you'll soon learn to be quiet and keep out of sight if you hope to see the next day, Project Zomboid's infected lumber around on their own until their attention is aroused by the player, other zombies or the world itself, a gun shot may fire in the distance and very quickly a herd will form, tearing and beating down everything in their path, one look at the mall and you'd think the outbreak hit on Black Friday. You can choose to play online with other people and at some point down the road we'll also be surviving alongside computer controlled survivors. The game starts with a well fleshed out character creation system where you can choose from a large selection of perks, professions and aesthetic choices. Then YOUR story begins. When you first play you'll think about the immediate problems and you'll likely die reacting to them. This will happen a few times, then you start to work out how to make it a few days or a week. You're now barricading a nice little place to call your own, you have a baseball bat and enough pie and ice cream to last two weeks, you'll likely die over something silly like rushing or not sneaking into a dark room. But now it's clicked, you know how eat, sleep, drink and put a wall between you and them. Each time you go back you survive a little longer, until eventually you're planning 2-3 months ahead, you're growing tomatoes and corn out front and you have a bug out bag by the back door, just in case...

This is how you died.
I spawned in the well appointed kitchen of a large house and immediately found myself surrounded by half a dozen zombies, all wearing party hats. Apparently, they were wishing me a happy B-day. Before I could leap out of the nearest window, I was beset by the ravenous guests, my flesh ripped apart as an appetizer. What a game!
