Project Zomboid is the ultimate in zombie survival. Alone or in MP: you loot, build, craft, fight, farm and fish in a struggle to survive. A hardcore RPG skillset, a vast map, a massively customisable sandbox and a cute tutorial raccoon await the unwary. So how will you die?
The Knox Event is used to refer to the zombie outbreak that occurs prior to and throughout the game. The event first takes place around Muldraugh and West Point, Kentucky. The incident is considered to have begun on the 4th of July, 1993, American Day of Independence. Just two days later the military evacuated residences from around the affected area and set up blockades in what is now known as the Knox Evacuation. The affected area is given the name: the Exclusion Zone, with the primary camp being south of Louisville.

Spawn in, die. Spawn in, run away, die. Spawn in, sneak away, survive a little bit, find a bat, die. Spawn in, sneak away, find a gun and ammo, boom boom of course, die. Spawn in, walk away, find a crowbar, "is that an alicepack?", sleep for the night, wake up and find a car, its a bit broken but it works, it stalls right next to a hoard, die. Spawn in, find a bat in your starting house, beat up a few zombies, find a warehouse with an axe, find a actually working car this time, drive to Louisville because you heard that its fun, find a military blockade and steal the entire armory, find a few mansions surrounded by tall fences and trees, might be good for a base, clear out the area, claim a home for yourself, things are looking good, decide to exercise for awhile, level up your strength 2 levels, food is running low, head to Louisville, "what was that the power?", find some canned food,
me and my friend started in a house without any zombies nearby. we left the house and started exploring. we proceeded to get immediately swarmed after trying to take on 6 zombies with a spoon and a rolling pin. we ran to a big fence and jumped over it to escape. we found a big house with a few windows. we took some sheets from the bathroom and covered up the windows. there was still one more window and we were out of sheets, so I moved a bookshelf in front of the window. we finally felt safe, so we checked our wounds. my friend had not been bitten but had scratches all over him and was almost dead. i bandaged his wounds and told him to sit in a corner and read a book. a zombie burst through a window i had missed. i stabbed it with a spoon, pushed it over, and smashed its head with my foot. i didn't have another bookshelf so i snuck out to try to find more medical supplies to try to stitc
I've lived entire lives in this game. Braved bitter winters. Sorted and labeled crates of canned food, wondering how long it would last me. Tended crops and cursed the misfortune of plant disease. Fractured my leg and holed up in the corner of some dilapidated warehouse dying of thirst since I lacked the speed to get home safely. I've lived a thousand lives and felt the touch of death so many times, now I'm only surprised when it doesn't come swiftly. What I've learned is that death isn't failure, no, it's a sweet release. Make no mistake, I've survived for a long time, built impregnable safehouses with self-sustaining crops, high above where any zombie could reach. But that is simply a different kind of death, death in the form of boredom, but it is a death all the same. It makes sense though, doesn't it? You are the last person on Earth, the world is filled with endless zombies, there
- Have survived for 2 months - Decide to go to the mall in Louisville - Commit genocide - Just finished looting the gun store - On my way out - Hear banging on a door - Open the door with an axe ready. - 10 zombies rush out the door. - Panic - Turn around and sprint away - Forget to turn around - Sprint straight into the kitchen - 30 zombies and their food has arrived - Stumble 3 times before tripping against a wall - Get instantly torn into shreds Lost all my progress, my gear, my skills, everything is gone... 10/10 would do again.
