Survival sims are probably my favorite type of video games to play. Throw in some zombies to the mix and I will be hard pressed to put them down. “Project Zomboid”, a game currently in the Alpha stages of development, is my latest addiction. It’s a top down zombie-survival game that tasks the player with finding food and staying alive, all in real-time. You’re not immune to infection, making death a very real thing. It’s not a question of whether or not you’ll survive…rather, it’s a matter of “when” you’ll kick the proverbial bucket.
You can check out the game in action via the videos below, or try it yourself by purchasing into the Alpha on Desura. Purchase of the game on Desura will net you a Steam key, which I appreciated. You won’t be emailed this key…rather you’ll have to go to your Desura collection page and “Get Steam Key”. For $7.99 (as of 10/16/13), the game is well worth it and I highly recommend giving it a go.
