Project Zomboid - The farming simulator disguised as a zombie survival game

[Truman the Jewman]

I play both (or should say have played both in the past, though I need to try a few new Cataclysm forks) and they do different things for me.

PZ is my 1993 simulator. I try to keep everything relatively period appropriate. I guess if I had strong enough autism I could do the same for Cataclysm also, but unless I wanna play innawoods there's all sorts of future shit in Cataclysm. Zomboid is just zombies. George Romero movie game. I've played CDDA with just zombies and it's boring. They're different enough for me.

Dunno how a zombie apocalypse could even work, unless you keep stacking the deck in favor of the disease and having humans behave like clueless idiots.

You could keep the scale of the apocalypse small, set the story in ancient times and/or have the zombies emerge alongside other disasters, like a famine or an earthquake.
