Project Zomboid

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

In the towns within the Knox Event Exclusion Zone our survivors must loot houses, build defences and do their utmost to delay their inevitable death day by day. No help is coming. Continued survival relies on cunning, luck, and the ability to evade a relentless horde...
