Development
"This game is impressive. I thought it's just a Last of Us's spin off but this is totally different. When the first time i heard it, i was not too interested. But when i saw the gameplay footage, i changed my mind. The gameplay is very dynamic and brought a realistic gameplay to the players. If you want my advice about a great game that come out in 2018, i really recommend this game."

Gameplay
The gameplay is different than any other Survival Horror Games. The game features free running movement that allows the player to moves seamlessly around the world, from the rooftops to the ground and anywhere in between. If the characters are badly wounded their hands or legs can be broken and those problems can affect Weapons accuracy and steadiness. The problems can be healed by using Med-Kit or let it heal itself but it will take some times. The weather can affect the characters movement and weapons accuracy and steadiness too. Like if it was rain, the terrain will be slippery and if the player running sometimes they will fall. And to keep their health the player must find waters and foods because the characters will starving in some points. The player can get food and water supply by raiding warehouses, abandoned stores, and abandoned stores, and Enemy compounds or outposts.

For the Med-Kit, the player can steal it or they can craft it by using Herb Plants that spreaded through the city. But some of the Herb Plants are infected and can't be used. And to keep the inventory, the player must use a backpack. After the first mission the player will received the standard backpack that only can store small amount of inventory. But they can upgrade it by find the required materials to upgrade the backpack.

For the safehouses, the player will received a Standard Safehouses at some point in the campaign. They can get more safehouses by liberating enemy outposts and compounds. After liberating compounds or outpost, they will received Food and Water, Bullets, Weapons, Med-Kit, and Body Armor. The player can have a Body Armor. It can protect the player from Fire Damage but it's not too effective for protecting them from melee damage. If the Body Armor got broken, the player can fix it by themself but it will not 100% fixed. If the player wants a 100% fixed body armor, they must find the new one.

Firearms are great, they have a big damage but they are loud and can attract so much zombies attention so they are not too effective at night because there's a lot of zombies activities at night. The player can upgrade their meele weapons. For example the player can combine Baseball Bat with Nails or Sharp Wires.

If the player got wounded badly, Using Med-Kit will not too effective. After using it, the player must remove the bullets from their hands or legs. Some of the infected are not fully infected. The player will found some of them and they are started changes into a zombie.

In daytime, the zombies are less agressive because they can't take much sunlights and some of them are hiding inside the buildings and some others are on the outside. But when in the night time, the zombies are very agressive. It's best for the player to not to use firearms at night. The zombies are easily distracted. For example, if you got surrounded by a hordes of zombies just throw a molotov anywhere near your location and the zombies will leave the player and approach the fire.

And in the game, there will be some random quests that requiring you to do some favors to a random minor characters. The rewards are, weapons, herbs, med-kit, bullets, foods and water, body armor, and crafting materials. Like in any other games, the rewards are random.

Some of the cars, have the keys attached to the starter or available in the car.
