Among the labyrinth of empty streets, the survivors fortify camps to resist zombie hordes and sneak outside to find relatives and discover the cause of the infection. You are one of the few survivors whose destiny is directly related to these events. Deal with hunger and thirst, look for the survivors' camps, build your own shelter from the gathered materials. Investigate the causes of infection by completing the quests. Explore into the darkest corners of the City to craft unique armor and weapons.
