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 – your continued survival relies on your own cunning, luck and ability to evade a relentless horde.

Current features:

Sandbox zombie survival game.
Full line of sight system and real-time lighting, sound and visibility mechanics. Hide in the shadows, keep quiet and keep the lights off at night, or at least hang sheets over the windows.
Vast and growing map (loosely based on a real world location) for you to explore, loot and set up your fortress. Check out Blindcoder’s map to see how it was looking before the recent West Point update: http://pzmap.crash-override.net
Use tools and items to craft weapons, barricade and cook. You can even build zombie proof forts by chopping trees, sawing wood and scavenging supplies.
Deal with depression, boredom, hunger, thirst and illness while trying to survive.
Day turns to night. The electricity falters. Hordes migrate. Winter draws in. Society is in freefall.
Farming, carpentry, character customization, skills and perks that develop based on what you do in-game.
Hundreds of zombies with swarm mechanics and in-depth visual and hearing systems.
Proper zombies that don’t run. (Unless you tell them to in the sandbox menu).
A ton of amazing atmospheric music tracks by the prodigy that is Zach Beever.
Instant action ‘Last Stand’ mode, on top of our Sandbox and Survival
Full, open and powerful Lua modding support.

We’re a small team at the moment, but we’re also committed to providing the following:
