I feel like now I’ve played a bit, I can go through the motions and make my character secure within a week i.e survive the helicopter event, find a car, secure a base, have ample food, water and guns.

For me, the zombies don’t really pose a threat any more knowing that I can just make a racket, round them up and pied Piper the fuckers to the nearest forest. I guess I’m waiting for NPCs to really stir things up but that doesn’t seem to be in the near future.

What have you guys done to make the game more difficult or entertaining after you got the gameplay loop down?

    I wrote a long reply earlier and accidentally erased it. Now I see there are some good suggestions!

    Now I’ve been to anxious to play this game so I watch others play it. I had a bunch of absurd ideas. Some I have used at some point in other games.

    Make the absolute sorriest character you can. The worst stats you can muster all together and survive that way.

    Role play. Choose a few restrictions for that character. Like maybe your character refuses to drive a car anywhere after the “incident,” for example.

    Or maybe they’re a pacifist and refuse to kill any zombies at all. That sounds awful actually.

    Decide to collect one random item and make it a goal. Ex., to have the worlds biggest bleach collection.

    I’ve walled off whole neighborhoods and created a town in other games. You could do that and play Zombie Sims.

      I’m glad you posted! I was also super anxious before playing, as in I downloaded it, started up and insta uninstalled when I realised I was alone in the zombie apocalypse. The best thing to do is start easy and turn off the jump scare noise.

      I do think I should try to RP more and perhaps in a multiplayer server too many spice things up a bit.
