About this game

It is 1993 in the zombie infested exclusion zone of Knox County, Kentucky, and you survive for as long as you can before inevitably dying, in this survival game in early access since December 2013. Each new run opens with a short account of how you died. Playing it is stealth and resource management: finding shelter, setting up a base with farms, keeping the power and water going, and getting better at skills by reading books. Leading the zombies away, in a car with the horn blowing, can be better than fighting them. The ending is still the point today. Every run is a survival that has to end in death, so the interest is how long the base and the supplies hold.
