About this game
I. Exploring the Abandoned City
The city lies in ruins. To survive, scour every corner - you never know what crucial resources you might find.
1. Gathering Supplies
Stockpile materials to build defenses and rescue survivors. Every scrap counts in your struggle for survival.
2. Recruiting Survivors
Find allies to help gather resources and fight off nightly zombie hordes. Many possess unique skills that could prove vital.
3. Building Defenses
Erect walls and install various turrets to protect your camp after dark. Adapt your designs to the environment for maximum effectiveness.
4. Equipping Gear
Search the city for scattered equipment. Only properly armed survivors can stand against the terrors of the night.
5. Scouting New Districts
Uncharted areas typically swarm with zombies. Prepare thoroughly before venturing into these dangerous zones.
6. Advancing to New Territory
When you've exhausted a district's resources, move your mobile base to the next area and begin anew.
II. Upgrading Your Mobile Base
Enhance your vehicle with new equipment and modifications to gain tactical advantages.
III. Surviving the Night
Daylight offers relative safety as zombies hide in the shadows. But when night falls, they emerge with terrifying aggression, attacking in coordinated waves.
IV. Strategic Evacuation
Beyond the regular nightly assaults, periodic zombie tides threaten to overwhelm your defenses. Evacuate districts before these massive hordes arrive to ensure your group's survival.
