Project Zomboid

This is a nice little indie game that I found. You appear in a bedroom with your wife in the bed. She's hurt. You go to the dresser and get some cloth. You rip them up and use them as bandages to cover her wounds. In the beginning, you pretty much do what your wife tells you. You get wood, some food, and you learn how to play the game along the way.  Then, they appear. ZOMBIEEEESSSS!

This point of the game is to survive as long as possible. Zombies have taken over the city, and you must do whatever you can to survive. You have the whole city at your disposal, and you can go into any house and take the items inside. There are no limits.. except for the city limits of course. In the end you WILL die no matter what. You must choose how it will happen though. Will you go out shooting as many zombies as possible? Will you set your house on fire and die in it? Will you poison yourself? It's all up to you.



Another cool thing the developers did was add things like fear, hunger, and pain. If you get hurt, your character will feel pain and you will move slower. These little effects make the game a little more difficult, but a little more interesting. As the developers say, "There’s more to zombie survival than shooting zombie heads off.


In the future, they plan on adding stuff like, online multiplayer, where you can team up with friends. They will add random events such as power outages. Also, they will add more people in the game so you can do missions for them as well as trade.


Overall, this is a great game. It's still in its beginning stages but it's already fun and addicting. http://projectzomboid.com/blog/ is where you can go to download a demo, visit the forums, and read updates about the game. Try it today!
