What players say
I recommend this game even though the Dev is on hiatus (last community hub update 6/2/26). When the Dev took a break from the game, so did I. I am presently TOUCHING GRASS since it is Summer. Give it a try (both the game and the grass part). Wishing the Dev well! Please come back when refreshed and do more great things. Folks with 10-20 hours played in game need to refrain from negative feedback. I would encourage...

Third person zombie survival open world with base building in early access. No story, No quests, No BS. Just chill music, zombies, and plenty of depth in exploration, crafting, and weapons. Pick this up for a chill night while trying to not die from Zombies, Bandits, or your own reckless abandon.
it was a promising game and the dev felt really transparant. but now it is unfortunately abandoned for over a year now. don't get this game. there's a lot that needs fixing and there's still not a lot of content. spend your time elsewhere.
