About this game

Description

Supplied by the Steam store

Project Zomboid is an open-ended zombie-infested sandbox. It asks one simple question – how will you die?

In the towns within the Knox Event Exclusion Zone our survivors must loot houses, build defences and do their utmost to delay their inevitable death day by day. No help is coming. Continued survival relies on cunning, luck, and the ability to evade a relentless horde...

Current Features

Hardcore Sandbox Zombie Survival Game with a focus on realistic survival.

Online multiplayer survival with persistent player-run servers.

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. Get spotted? Fire a gun? You’re in trouble…

Absolutely vast, and growing, map that’s loosely based on real world Kentucky. A huge area in which you explore, loot and set up your fortress.

Vehicles with full physics, and deep and realistic gameplay mechanics.

Tools and items can be used to craft weapons, barricade and cook. 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, fishing, carpentry, cooking, trapping, character customisation, 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).

Atmospheric dynamic music that matches your Knox Event adventure.

Imaginative Challenge scenarios, on top of our regular Outbreak, Rising, Apocalypse and nightmarish Extinction modes.

Local split-screen co-op.

Full, open and powerful Lua modding support.

Xbox Controller Gamepad support on Windows. (Other gamepads can be set up manually)

Planned Features

The return of Kate and Baldspot, the initial story-driven stars of the Project Zomboid tech demo.

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/overhaul of the countryside, towns and city that have been ravaged by the Knox Event

More items, crafting recipes, weapons and gameplay systems.

Steam Achievements support.
