I really need to get more into Project Zomboid, I really love its Sims-like aesthetic and early 90s setting. But the whole zombie apocalypse thing quite scares me since I’m pretty terrified of the idea of being eaten alive by a zombie horde and then becoming a zombie @_ (the end of the tutorial shook me to my core, lol)
I actually made a little “modpack” collection and sandbox game mode that turns it from a zombie apocalypse game to something more like Silent Hill (replacing zombies with eldritch entities, and making them spawn less frequently and move slower, but be far more resistant to damage), since that ironically makes the game less terrifying for me and more manageable to play 😅 (plus I quite like liminal spaces in general, which is something I wanted to replicate with the mod collection)
Yeah. The tutorial can be ruthless. I remember being scared a little by it when I first played it a few years ago.
I remember seeing a mod that swaps the zombies for one immortal one that always knows where you are (like the snail). Have you tried that with the eldritch mod?
When I still had a Gamepass description I streamed the second one to my phone and played it with PS4 Controller during a class. Worst way to play it, but loved every second of it. I can’t wait either for the full release
Explore, do the side quests, pay attention to the dialogue. I found the treasure hunts a little tedious after a while, but you can get some really cool gear. Take your time, you can easily spend 120 hours in one playthrough.
I love these slice of life type games that offer a variety of quests, trades, and places to explore. I know there are plenty of those as single player games but they’re infinitely more fun as MMOs where friends can hop in and join you.
Slice of Life MMOs just have this feeling where you’re living a second fantasy life. I know a lot of people get that vibe from Games Like Stardew, but it took RuneScape and FFXIV for me to understand what they what they were talking about. The community just makes it feel far more alive
It’s rare to see a RPGmaker game with VA. I wonder how that happened. RPGmaker is the tool that you use when you don’t have money to spend on anything but still want to make a game.
You got me curious. I’ll check it one of these days. I like narrative-heavy games and it seems right up my alley.
I had so much fucking fun with this game. It only worked with LFG, but when you found that full lobby of people actually playing to have fun, all with mics, it became magic
