You lead a group of survivors trying to restore a ruined city after a zombie outbreak. In the campaign, your group moves through a series of cities while pursuing a cure; you can also start in randomly generated cities.
Assign survivors to tasks across the map: scavenge buildings for supplies, secure plots, build up your fort, and defend it from zombie attacks. Decide how to use reclaimed space, balancing needs such as food, housing, medical care, and fortifications.
Survivors have skills, perks, and relationships that affect how they handle tasks and events. Research new abilities and equipment, make choices in story events, and deal with rival factions through alliances or conflict. The game supports real-time play and turn-based play.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its survivor-management loop, zombie-survival strategy, and the stories that emerge from factions, events, and character relationships. Some also value replaying different cities and pursuing campaign goals. Critical reviews commonly say missions grow repetitive, and several players find late-game management tedious or the route to a favorable ending unclear.
