About This Game
A hardcore, open-world survival sandbox set in a post-apocalyptic world where players must scavenge, craft, fortify and fight to survive against hordes of infected and other players. Scenarios let you choose your zombie apocalypse story and difficulty.
Zombies
Zombies are slower and more docile during the day. When the sun sets they become alert, aggressive and are out on the hunt.
Vehicle Fortifications
Vehicles are fully fortifiable. Cover windows and add strength to gain the advantage. Attach a plow or lights to make your vehicle the ultimate survival machine.
Structure Fortifications
Every structure is fortifiable! Plank windows, doors and place free placed barricades to secure any structure.
Mobile Homes
Don’t want to live in a structure? No problem. Find an RV or similar vehicle and take your base with you. Cook, sleep and store your items in your mobile base.
Placement & Storage
Settle into your new home by using pegboards, player storage and blueprints to put your stamp on the place. Physically place your items in the world to make your perfect survival hideout.

Zombie Hordes
Hordes increase in difficulty over time. Challenging even the best players to progressively make their base stronger and better protected. The harder the horde, the bigger reward.
Nutrition & Hydration
Cook over an open fire or directly on a stove to manage your calorie and hydration needs. Maintaining your player vitals will increase your overall strength and carrying capacity over time.
Mental Health System
The mental health system discourages the "Kill On Sight" mentality, promoting alliances for better survival against the zombie threat. While PVP is still a factor, players have ways to correct a negative mental state.
Hunting
Sick of baked beans? Head out into the wilderness to hunt for larger animals.

Crafting & Inventory
Simplified text-based inventory and crafting allows us to greatly expand on in-game items and crafting possibilities.
Blueprints
Blueprints let you visualize your free-placed fortifications before you build them. Layout your base and build it as you gather materials.
Weapon Customization
Weapon attachments let you customize your gun and get it just right for your play style.
Traps
Use traps to get the upper hand. Traps can give you the edge when zombies or raiders arrive.

Vehicle Maintenance
Every vehicle is repairable. Engine and wheel parts are required to get a vehicle running. Items can be stored in trunks and on truck beds.
Electrical System
Powering a structure can provide light to make nighttime activities easier. Some structures also require electricity to power interior and exterior doors.
Farming
When food stores start to run out, turn to farming for your calorie needs. Protect your crops indoors under light or grow them outside in the warmer months to produce food that will last through winter.

Zombie Numbers
Optimizations allow the game to handle massive amounts of zombies. They might be slow but numbers can really get the better of you.
Server Hosting & Solo Play
Simple game hosting that uses steam relays. There’s no need to port forward. Simply choose your settings and start playing.
Scenarios
Browse through official and community-made scenarios to find your perfect zombie experience.

Customizable Experience
Can’t find your perfect scenario? With over 100 configuration options, you can set things up just how you like them. Once you’re done, you can upload your world save to the Steam workshop for others to enjoy.
POIs
Explore the different points of interest to find valuable location-specific loot.
Weather & Seasons
The weather is dynamic including all four seasons along with seasonal vegetation and foliage.
Day & Night Objectives
Spend your days preparing to survive the onslaught at night. Zombies are more aggressive and alert when the sun goes down.
Day Objectives: During the day, focus on resource gathering and fortification. Fell trees, craft planks, engage in hunting and trapping. Collect loot, food, and fortify a structure. Ensure doors and containers are locked, fuel generators, and prepare power systems. Keep your health up by lighting fires, crafting bandages, and gearing up for the night.
Night Objectives: At night, prioritize safety and stealth. Team up with friends in a secured structure, favor melee over firearms to stay quiet. Activate generators, power up structures, set traps, and cook meals indoors on wood stoves. The key is to survive until morning.
Steam Achievements
If achievements are your thing, we’ve got you covered. With almost 100 achievements, you’ll be busy for some time. Can you ‘Choke a Chicken’?
Plans for Future Updates
Expand electrical systems - This will include electrical traps, house alarms, heating systems, working stoves, more lighting in towns and roadways, light towers, functioning water pumps (water tied to power).
Expanding weapons - New weapons and improved handling.
Additional vehicles - Expanding on “mobile survival” such as adding box trucks, trailers and light aircraft.
Fishing - Spend your days shore side with a line in the water, if you think it’s safe.
Character customization - A full scale character customization feature including the implementation of a female character
Expand on STN+ and Workshop - This includes more furniture, structure painting, holiday lights and decorations, proper Steam workshop implementation and working arcade’s with API.
Grouping system - Players can join a grouping system with friends.
Island wide community missions and events - Come together to clear out larger structures. Band together and share your loot to repair the power station and provide the entire island with power.

Do Not buy This Game in the current sate its has far to many bugs that brake the game
I have been waiting for years for this game to get better. I love the aesthetic, the smoothness of game play, the vision but man... there is still issues with containers being inaccessible where you can't put loot in and no loot spawns in them. same for fireplaces, loading saves forever hangs so you have to start a new world again, and disappearing loot after a restart. 3 times me and my friends put over 10 hours into a save in a single session, went to rejoin and had to start a new world from scratch before they gave up, but I chalked it up to the fact it's in early access so I held out hope. I brought these issues up with JB in discord DMs in November 2023. Came back to try today and the issues haven't changed except now we have the option to purchase the supporter thing. Maybe I just have a busted copy lmao or computer but I just don't know if or why the devs don't suffer any of the bugs. I see people enjoying the game working and I wanna enjoy it too because I do like the game a l...
years of dev time and seemingly zero progress - stay away
too many bugs don't buy
its a good f.p.s. looter shooter. it has to potential to be great or even one of the best. to be honest after 1500 hrs of 7days. in alot of respects its everything i looked for in 7 days. all i can say is its worth the play i have in it and the dev. stays on making their fan base happy.
houses look out of place and zombies too and the graphics and
This game is a scam. I bought it 8 years ago when frankieonPC was sponsored to play it. It looked better then than it does now after nearly a decade. Played 2h and learned my lesson.
Really got to do something about the cars going away after we log back in. Ive logged out with a car full of things just to come back log in about theres no car or my things that i had put inside
It's decent.
