Gameplay

The aim of Project Zomboid is to survive in the zombie-ridden Knox County, which has been quarantined by the government. The player has to manage such things as hunger, tiredness, pain and mental stability to stay alive. To do this, players must scavenge for supplies to keep themselves alive for another day, while avoiding the roaming zombies. The game uses the traditional, Romero style, slow moving zombies, though certain zombies are faster than others.
