Project Zomboid isnt your typical game, its not the best looking but if you want to delve deep into the idea of the realistic zombie apocalypse theres no other game on the market like it. You start of with these words appearing on the screen:
"These are the end times
There was no hope for survival
This is how you died."
The words fade out and you meet the player and his injured wife, they make small chat on how bad her broken leg is, and its time for some work to do. I search the cabinets and find a pillow and sheets and i rip the sheets into bandages for my bleeding wife. I then hurry into the bathroom and grab some medicine to ease the pain. She feels much better, but is still immobile.
I notice a shed in the backyard I head for it and find some wood planks, nails, and a hammer. Perfect. I run back inside and barricade the windows and doors, i breathe a sigh of relief as i head upstairs. My wife and i suddenly become hungry i tell her i will check the neighbor's house for food, but she begs me to stay, darkness has approached. We eat hungry that night.
Next dawn i head out to the neighbors house and i go to the kitchen. GASP! A zombies there, i use my hammer and destroy his mushy, undead brains. I grab as many soup containers as i can and head back to my house. I find some old pans in the cupboards and i put the soup in the oven, turn it on and head upstairs, for the first time in a couple of days i hear the radio crackle. No important news besides the government thinking that the zombies outside are actually people, and that whatever safe zone there was... well its long gone.
Then suddenly my wife smells something, she asks "Did you turn of the oven before you came here?" "Oh shit." I run downstairs to turn the oven off, but the house is already on fire, i run upstairs grab my wife and carry to the front door. As soon as i opened the door tens of zombies flooded in, apparently attracted by the fire that had started in their quaint little town. Within 3 seconds my life ends, i become nothing more than zombie feed and worst of all i didnt even save my wife from the same fate i endured.
It is an amazing game but right now its still in alpha i believe, so there is a lot of work to be done still, but this has to be the most realistic zombie game i have ever played.
Project Zomboid can be purchased on their website for $5-$10-$15 dollars by buying one of their previous games. http://goo.gl/MRZ6Z
