It's spooky

A very satisfying and punishing but fair survival game, with a sandbox mode to tweak anything to your liking, AND a fully supported mod scene. Everything I could ask for.

Edit: After playing the game for longer, I decided to come back to this review. The game is still great, and I appreciate the Dev's commitment to a polished product, but there's a few gripes I have that I'd like to point out, afterward I will point out stuff I liked and still do like. To be clear I still highly recommend this game, however I wanted to share my experience and thoughts about it.

---Gripes

The health system as currently implemented is literally useless. Infections don't effect your character at all, neither do dirty bandages, and you can seemingly bleed out from scratching yourself on a tree branch (which is possible, but that's hardly just a scratch at that point)

Cars take just a smidge too much damage from hitting zombies for my liking, and zombies restrict your car's movement a little too much. I am aware that hitting people with a car is probably bad for the car, but I find it hard to imagine a car having hitting a walking corpse and going from 80 mph to 20, or barely reaching 5 mph when driving through a small crowd, is a little silly, Especially so for 'heavy duty' trucks and such.

Food is a little too abundant, however this can be changed in the settings

Same case for medicine, I imagine in an early apocalypse medicines would disapear incredibly quickly because of the high demand.

Lastly, the endgame is a little lacking, but the devs have an interesting solution currently in the works.

---Finally, the parts I like.

The permadeath is very engaging, and makes you feel attached to your survivor, especially after living for months and becoming a master of your craft. I have been devastated by a death a few times now, and it makes you truly fear for your life in a risky scenario, especially if it was your fault. The only thing I would like would be a way to recover a dead survivor in case you died to something outside the game, like a dead controller or sudden lag or whatever.

The non-renewability of some resources is an interesting restriction long term, even if it doesn't apply to most gameplay. The looming threat of *eventually* running out of car parts or duct tape or whatever, even if there's enough to last for years, is a fun thing to think about

The zombies being literally unable to kill you if there's only one really hammers home the threat of zombies in numbers. As long as you are aware of the zombie, you can have every debuff in the game and still keep one zombie off of you. Now just three zombies? you're boned.

Lastly, this game's customizability cannot be overstated, the game has a very in depth sandbox and allows you to tweak just about everything I mentioned, so if anything I praised or complained about isn't your thing, just change it lol.

The world (kentucky) is your oyster, just don't get careless
This is how you died, after all.

Overall ~6 or 7/10 Vanilla, Dialogue options were pretty lacking but gunplay was solid, but the Modding community caries this game HARD.

it good

It's just great
