Zombie apocalypse roleplay with quite a few twists. I like to think of it as a roleplay gamemode that you don't have to roleplay on.
- The main concept is that you can use it singleplayer and have just as much fun as if it had 42/42.
- Minimalist HUD: There is no immediate info on your screen except for player names.
- Clean, efficient GUI - no more browsing through five windows just to make a character
- Press F2 on other players to bring up their profile.
- Character emote system: You can change your character's expression and perform gestures with a GUI menu.
- Characters gesture when they speak - for example, hand waving, or nodding in a direction.
- Custom playermodels, made by myself. They use skins - there are 1200-1500 character combinations in 100mb of human models. ~50 heads, 24-30 outfits.

- Slow zombies, just reanimated dead. These are Romero zombies. They break down doors over timespans of a week. They can be set on fire and keep shambling towards you.
- Zombies spawn if you yell/shoot a gun/ etc.
- Using a weapon makes you unable to move, similar to how Project Zomboid does it. This makes melee fighting a last resort - missing could be fatal.
- Death is final. Once a character dies and you go back to the character selection, you can still play that character, you'll just be laying on the ground, or shambling around thanks to zombie AI. No appeals, just like a realistic zombie apocalypse. Don't pick fights you can't win.
- There are motives, such as sleep, hunger, exertion, etc.
- Motives are saved and decay with time spent ingame. They won't kill you, just make you slower and distort your view and increase your insanity level.
- Health isn't represented from 1-100; instead, you'll see Shot, Bitten, Scratched etc. with motives.
- Small damage system - bandages, splints, etc. all have function
- Insanity system
- Items have a much larger influence than other roleplay gamemodes. For example, food to decrease hunger etc.
- Crafting system that supports up to 4 items.
- Each item you carry slows you down.
- Items and melee weapons are easy to find. Firearms and firearm ammo are hard to find.
- Can trade items directly with other players, or place them in containers.
- Items have no physical presence. They're not found on the ground as with other roleplay gamemodes, but rather inside props. The reason for this is to decrease lag, missing items, and item duplication.
- Map contents are saved.
- Music system. Plays music at opportune times. Death means sad music, life means.. sad music, zombies around means action music.
- If you are bitten (or got a bad scratch) you are infected, and you die after some time.
- All dead players become zombies, if the head is intact.
