Project Zomboid is perhaps the most unforgiving survival game on PC. It’s not that it’s the hardest. It’s more…the pure indifference. One of my most recent characters, I had managed to keep alive for more than three months. Stupidly I decided to check out Louisville. Attempting to run from a horde, I tripped over, dropped my machete and flashlight, and, well, you know what happened next. With The Indie Stone still tweaking build 42 unstable, a potential new Project Zomboid update has just been teased and, with changes to XP, crafting, and the zombies themselves, it could make staying alive much easier.
