Project Zomboid...They're coming to get you Barbara!


I've recently become aware of a really cool indie game in development called, "Project Zomboid". All they have available at the moment is a pre-alpha tech demo that gives you a taste of what the finished game may actually be like. It's being developed by a small indie development team called Indie Stone. The game is definitely pre-alpha, which means it's buggy and unfinished, but it was exciting enough in what they've already got accomplished that I bought in for a lifetime license for just $8.l0.

The game is basically a zombie RPG. Survive for as long as you can, looting homes and businesses for your survival needs in an open-world concept game. The developers state right up front that "you will not survive." There is no end game scenario where you save the world, or escape to a safe haven. The whole point of the game is to see what kind of a person you are as you do what you have to, to stay alive as long as you can. I've only played the demo a couple of times so far and the best I've done is to survive for 3 days and 3 hours. If you think this kind of a game is up your alley, check it out HERE.
