What players say
I really love this game, I played several times during the years, and I always enjoy my time, especially thanks to the editor, turning Alice into a very little man, it s always funny, I played also the sequel, but this one have a special feeling, I just wish there was something more to do, to build, to plant.. great game, anyway thank you Bob

This is one of those indie gems that focuses on the actual survival part of the apocalypse. It's not about flashy graphics; it's about managing people and resources. It can be a bit of a grind to keep everyone fed and happy, but the simulation is deep enough to keep you coming back to see how your community holds up. Graphics: Potato-friendly Gameplay: Addictive survival mechanics Story: Solid for an indie title...
This is not a game it is a test of willingness, it not hard nor easy but time consuming, the g key will be your friend and I will Invite him to my wedding. This game is a mixture of zombie games Dead Rising 2 = gameplay mechanic Kateys Zomberx but with insulin Days Gone a little = story/factions they even suck in both I hate the factions more in this game than DG State Of Decay = world GAMEPLAY Like The Sims™ but...

About the game
It's one year after the collapse of civilization and self-centered hedge fund manager Joe Wheeler emerges from his specially constructed bunker in search of food. This is a huge open-world RPG where you have the freedom to play how you want - but your choices have consequences.
