Dear diary,

Hell may be other people but they had enough decency to not gnaw on your head to get to the brains within. Every sunrise I see means we are that much closer to escaping the slavering zombie hordes that hunt in the night. We lost some good people in the last few days: Sam, whom we “convinced” that she should go with the Piper as live bait to lure some of the undead away from here, Zeke went out to explore to look for supplies...last I heard of him were his screams of pain in the distance. There is a small beacon of hope: there are hints about a helicopter that searches for survivors. All we have to do is find out where it will be and stay alive...stay alive...stay alive...

Zafehouse: Diaries is a tactical game of survival, planning, resource management, and problem-solving. Every town, location, and survivor is dynamically generated - no two games are the same. Manage your survivors’ needs, prejudices and motivations and you might stay around long enough to be rescued. Send out search parties to gather supplies and anything useful. Spread rumors to affect relationships between members of your group. Zafehouse: Diaries’ unique, diary-based interface records your actions, reveals the state of the world, provides hints and clues to help you. Your diary can also be exported and shared when the game is over.

  • Includes "No Survivors" mode: with no time limits or objectives, how long can you survive in a town slowly being overrun by zombies?
  • Put your face in the game! Zafehouse: Diaries gives you the freedom to customize the names, portraits, and the location of your group. Will zombies come to your town?
  • An easy-to-use and streamlined interface means you can focus on the most important thing: survival.
  • A sophisticated combat engine that takes into account each survivor’s abilities, relationships, the environment, weapons, and more.
  • Features “Road Kill” mode where your group scavenges parts for a broken-down car in order to get the hell out of Dodge!

Dying:A game Chance

The premise does sound nice but the execution lacks a lot to be desire. First of all, you only have one week to search for clues and a radio, the problem being that in one week of game time is not enough to search the whole town for all the clues. Second, to search a place, be a house or a "special place"(Stores, Banks, Warehouses, etc.) you have to "breach" the place as in "break in". The problem here is that theres is now way to indicate if that place is actually safe. You can send a survivor to "Investigate" but most time it will give you the wrong numbers of zombies inside a house In every play through, a survivor would tell that the special place had 0-3 zombies, just after breaching, my survivors ends up getting a game over or getting killed because actually it had 11-20 zombies... SO every time you breach it boils to a game of chance of how many survivors are going to get killed or get a game over. Feels like every breach is just like picking a Chance card from Monopoly, it could be good but in this game most of the cards are bad or kills 1-5 survivors. The game as it is looks like now, it leaves everything to chance, too much to chance. The game wants you to take it slowly but if you do you wont the to the chopper rescue, if you take it fast, theres a high probability that a any breach (even the first breach you do) can get you a game over. Wait for a sale or wait until they fix the game.

Fun Zombie Survival Simulator

Fun for a minimalist game where you direct characters by their actions, they have their own strengths/flaws/skills. I am enjoying it, although it makes me wish for more - not out of this game per se, but a follow-up or something. (Spiritual successor, Kenshi-like, save slots lol, anything)

Addictive, Refreshing, Broken.

An excellent game, it evokes the challenges and perils of surviving in a zombie apocalypse with people that wouldn't normally get along. It's a very difficult game. Balancing the group dynamics with attempts to achieve your objectives is harder than it sounds, a nightmare scenario is made much worse if your group all hates each other. Speaking of nightmares, the only reason that I cant give this game a unreserved recommendation is the fact that it has some game crippling bugs. Saves corrupt, the next turn button breaks and other bugs can cause your best attempt to grind to a halt. It's a game that is well worth buying, but only if you don't mind seeing your dream team ripped to shreds... and not always by zombies.

Good Game!

*Disclaimer* This game is slow ***-----------------*** This is a rouglike game, therefore it is slow. So be ready, but if you are ready, and flexible this is a game with a lot of content, and not one worth missing. Due to the fact that there is no actual character interface, just a "god overview" it can lack things that some people may be looking for. If you are looking for a zombie fighting game, this is not the one for you, but if you want a good zombie survival experience. This is the game for you.

Very promising but feels unfinished...

I'm excited to see where they can take this game. It really feels like a bare-bones experience right now, but if they keep working on it and adding to it - it could be a real winner! The scenarios/encounters are random (much like FTL), but there aren't many of them... so it feels like you're doing the same thing over and over... (because you are.) You're also limited to five survivors... which is an unfortunate and unnecessary limitation (in my opinion.) And in "story" mode - there is permadeath with no chance of replacing a fallen survivor - which again seems very unnecessary. If they added more content and features, this game would be a real gem. It is an excellent bare bones experience though... I'll be watching for dlc and updates for this one!
