MAKE A
HOME
OF WHAT'S
LEFT.

Leave the relative safety of your base, search what remains of Ashwick and bring useful supplies home. A modest terraced house becomes a workshop, store, kitchen and reason to make it back.

YOUR NEW DAILY ROUTINE

ONE
MORE
DAY.

The world ended. Your to-do list did not.

Survival Milestone: Still Alive, Day 9
01

Leave the base

Pick a location, pack light and tell yourself this is definitely a good idea.

02

Take the risk

Search derelict streets, quiet waters and whatever remains beyond the barricades.

03

Return alive

Bring home food, timber, scrap and the occasional item that almost looks useful.

04

Build tomorrow

Recover, cook, craft and improve the place you intend to wake up in.

SECTOR SELECTION // ASHWICK

GO OUT
THERE.

Abandoned streets are safer. Ransacked shops are not. Greater risks may mean better finds, provided you are still carrying them when you get home.

Scavenging locations including Abandoned Street, Ransacked Corner Shop and Silent Suburbs
LOW RISK ABANDONED STREETMED RISK CORNER SHOPHIGH RISK SILENT SUBURBS

SKILLS // FISHING + TRAPPING

LIVE OFF
WHAT'S LEFT.

Work through new waters, better equipment and whatever is still biting. Set traps, leave them working and come back later. Survival rewards patience, mostly because the fish do not care about your schedule.

WORKSHOP // PRODUCTION

MAKE
DO.

Start with crude survival equipment. Find proper tools, keep them maintained and gradually unlock less embarrassing ways to make what you need.

BASE SYSTEMS // DOMESTIC SURVIVAL

BUILD SOMETHING
WORTH COMING BACK TO.

Scavenged resources have a purpose. Organise supplies, grow food, process catches, cook meals and make four walls feel marginally less temporary.

COMBAT // ACTIVE THREAT

SOMETIMES
THE
DEAD
OBJECT.

Equipment, weapon skills, protection and medical supplies matter when avoidance fails. The infected become more dangerous. You are expected to become less careless.

LONG-TERM PROGRESSION

KNOWLEDGE
SURVIVES.
