How to Survive 2

2016EKO SoftwarePlayStation 4, PC (Microsoft Windows), Xbox One

Dead or Alive? Make up your mind, stranger. We don’t like that undead business here in Louisiana… Survive solo or with friends as you look to fulfill your basic needs of food, water and shelter, crafting your own tools and weapons while you secure your camp and face flesh hungry zombies.

What it feels like

Constant threat of flesh-hungry zombies and resource scarcity create sustained pressure and edge. Zombies and survival horror create an unflinching dark atmosphere, though tempered by noted dark humor.
