Good game, DO NOT BUY ON STEAM. You can get this, more updated and more supported, for free off the official website/discord. This is a free game which has been repackaged, not by the original developers, and charged for. Just get it from the official channels.

Don't play this game. It's simulating life in an apocalypse at the cost of your real life.

I was Mr. Farts the lumberjack, and I was a paragon of the community. I cleared out a town of zombies just to find an inhaler for the local fat kid. I ripped the Quran from cold, undead hands so that the terrified Middle-Eastern tourists could find peace in the apocalypse. I burned down the house filled with dogs. But one day, a man I had never seen before needed a job done. A local group of bandits (two bandits) was terrorizing the community, and he needed Mr. Fart's specific brand of vigilante justice. They lived in a secluded woodland cabin. The perfect place for villainy. All the doors were locked up tight, but I couldn't risk using my trusty ax. The poor girl needed repairs. Luckily, these bandits just so happened to have a Mad-Max truck in their parking lot. I dove from the truck as it tore through their log cabin walls. Silence. Nothing moved inside. Had they been runover? Perhaps they ran away in fear. I peaked my head in through the smoking hole the truck had made. "I'LL KILL YA SUMBITCH" An elderly couple, both wielding shotguns, proceeded to blow my legs off before mercy killing me. Such was the story of Mr. Farts, Lumberjack

20 Minutes playing this game.. I start in a building. Learning the controls as I go. I stumble onto the roof and didn't know. Found out how to peek. Saw a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ huge zombie horde to the north consisting of Fat Zombies, Zombie Dogs, Feral humans, Zombie children, Zombie runners and other horrors I couldn't describe. I waited for them to bust into the building, Found out how to climb down.. 6 zombies remained behind. The chase was on. I ran between another two buildings with zombies covering one exit.. I go to run back and thats blocked, I bust into a door.. Run into a kitchen and get mauled to death. Holy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hell, I haven't felt this vulnerable in a long long time in a game. Thats just my first 20 minutes.

There's really no need to buy when there's a free version, but it's nice to have my total playtime recorded. It's my favorite game for a good randomised survival story. You'll get used to dying. Takes a lot of characters to learn the keybinds and game mechanics. In my longest save, I've been building a dinosaur zoo and farming triffids with my character Regina George. 10/10
