About Project Zomboid

Project Zomboid is an open-ended zombie-infested sandbox. It asks one simple question – how will you die? 

In the towns of Muldraugh and West Point, survivors must loot houses, build defences and do their utmost to delay their inevitable death day by day. No help is coming – their continued survival relies on their own cunning, luck and ability to evade a relentless horde.

In Project Zomboid, the player aims to survive for as long as possible in an apocalyptic and zombie-ridden area around the city of Louisville, Kentucky - referred to as 'Knox Country' - which has been quarantined by the government. The player can choose their character's appearance, occupation, and traits before selecting to spawn within one of four starting towns. On top of avoiding zombies, the player has to manage their personal needs (such as hunger, stress, fatigue, and boredom) to stay alive through resting, scavenging for supplies, and using survivalist techniques. The player can level skills through activities and reading skills in books and magazines. 

Project Zomboid uses the traditional Romero style, slow-moving zombies, though other zombies are faster than others, and sandbox mode includes a setting for 28 Days Later style "sprinter" zombies. The game features a variety of preset difficulty modes, along with a sandbox mode, which allows the player to customize their game's settings such as zombie population, virus transmissibility, and the rarity of loot. 'Knox Country' - the playable region in Project Zomboid - heavily bases its locale on the Louisville metropolitan area. The towns of Muldraugh, West Point, and Louisville are loosely replicated in the game world alongside other fictional locations. The world becomes more desolate as time progresses, with water and power grids being shut off followed by the erosion and overgrowth of the region's structures.

Additionally, the game features a set of fixed 'challenge' scenarios, some of which are set on separate, smaller maps and/or feature unique gameplay elements, like an endless winter storm or a zombie horde that tracks the player after one in-game day. Project Zomboid modding community is also very active in this game, further allowing for gameplay customization. The mods range from minor, quality of life changes such as visible stamina, hunger, and water bars, to complete overhauls of mechanics and gameplay. These mods can be found in the Steam Community Workshop. The community for this game also actively updates the wiki for players to help them understand the game.
