i got this game early on in its life cycle i still remember the first game and now we got an sandbox version/second game thank you Bob you an real one for making this game bro and i'm glad i bought it and got to see its many updates and patches i been here before the workshop was implemented for this game and im still here now i never regretted buying this game despite how many times i wanted to beat up my Laptop but thank you and i thank the Publisher as well

March 2025

I rarely review games on Steam, despite so much of my life being taken up by them, but I recently had a positive interaction with the developer, and I feel the need to tell you all that this game is worth a purchase. I love the game in its current state, which is still under development, and I love it even more with between 40 and 50 mods enabled at any given time. What makes this even better is that I had a game-breaking error that was caused by a mod, but I had no way of knowing this without someone's help, and the mod's creator hasn't been around lately. Without knowing that a mod caused my issue, I emailed the developer with my crash report, as the game told me to, and I received a helpful and timely response directly from the developer, who obviously took the time to find the source of my problem and even told me what mod was causing it and how to get around it, which devs simply don't do; if it's a mod problem, its your problem, not theirs. What did Bob, the developer, also do that prompted this review? He commented on the mod's Workshop page, on my behalf, with the error and a suggestion for solving it while also changing the way that the crash alert is worded. A few years ago, I had a similarly game-breaking error in a game whose name rhymes with Basedland 2. I reported that error, and the developer himself responded. He told me that it doesn't happen, and that was that. Funny enough, when the remastered version came out, the problem that never existed had been fixed. With Bob, I got a response within two hours, telling me what went wrong and why with an attempt to have it fixed, and I still can't believe it. How is the game? It's freaking awesome. It's a zombie survival game with full mod support. You can get the living crap beat out of you one day, then amass a small army to kill the living crap out of the same enemy over the course of a week or less (in-game time, unless you just don't play often, or you do it often but you do it really slow for some reason). It's still being fixed and updated, but it's a full game at this point, so it doesn't require mods. It's just nicer with them once you know what you want. I play PC and console games more than I do pretty much anything else, short of listening to music and smoking pot, but I seriously don't ever review games because I don't know where to begin or end while still being fair and honest. All I'll say is that I just love the game. I love killing zombies, I love battling raiders, looters, and other survivors, and I really love getting revenge on the ones that attempt to attack or extort me, especially when it involves sneaking around with a knife, bow, and arrows to take them out one by one before my clan storms their gates with molotovs and nail guns - some of this may be happening because of mods, I don't know anymore. I can ramble incoherently for pages and pages worth of paragraphs and run-on sentences, or you can do like LaVar Burton told me as a kid in the 80's and just not take my word for it (that, and not to push the warp core too hard). If that was incoherent to you, it means you have to buy the game to know how good it really is.

The game is as difficult as Kenshi. The combat will leave you crying in early hours. Get beaten up; get strong. The NPC behavior in this game is brilliant. NPCs in this game are fully simulated. They have their own jobs, their social circle and general thoughts. Overall, this game is a 10/10 for me. I haven't had so much fun in the past few years.

Dec. 2024

The only game that I can compare it to is when Project Zomboid and State of Decay 2 had a child. For zombie enthusiast this is a must play!

Hello Development Team, I hope you’re doing well! As a passionate fan of your game, I wanted to share an idea that could significantly enrich the player experience: adding a reproduction system. Why a Reproduction System? 1. Increased Game Depth: A reproduction system could allow players to nurture new generations of characters or creatures. This feature adds greater depth to the game and can lead to the creation of personal and unique stories. 2. Social Interactions: Introducing reproduction would enable players to form deeper relationships between their characters or creatures. These interactions could foster the development of communities and new collaborations. 3. Diversity and Variability: New generations could possess unique traits and skills. This not only contributes to gameplay diversity but also ensures that each playthrough is a new and unpredictable experience. 4. Long-term Engagement: Adding this system could provide motivation for players to return to the game and work on nurturing new generations. This feature could also serve as a strong marketing point for the game. Considering the above benefits, I hope your team will take this idea into consideration. Implementing a reproduction system could offer a unique and engaging experience for players, elevating your game to a new level of depth and appeal. Thank you for your attention, and I hope this proposal will be taken into account!
