As in the headline, this game is the outlier. It may not appear as anything special from the outside, but on the inside, it is a brutal, unforgiving experience. You are constantly walking along the edge of a razor at all times. Any mistake could be severely debilitating, or fatal. Your character isn't a genetic freak. The infection can (and will) infect them from direct contact with the infected through blood or saliva. You will need to constantly adapt and learn how to survive, as the Zombie threat is constant, looming, just waiting for you to slip up into demise. You can't get rid of the Zombies, they must become a way of life. Project Zomboid isn't a casual game, for the faint of heart. Is is brutal and unforgiving in any way it can be, and if you can think of it, it probably does it. You must be incredibly diligent to your characters health and needs. They need proper calorie intake, proper exercise, wounds need to be properly treated and disinfected, there is NO cure, but most of all, you need to keep your eyes and ears open at all times. There is no such thing as being "safe" in this game. A zombie can always break a few things to get to you, you might run out of food or water, or even just general supplies. You must constantly be on the watch at all times for Zombies to avoid being infected. Keep your eyes peeled, learn to think on your feet, and pack some spare food and water, and most importantly, be careful. All it takes is a bite...
