Zeverland

The game features a massive, 600+ square kilometer procedurally generated sandbox map (up to 24x24 km) with diverse environments, including towns, villages, coasts, and mountains. The world is persistent and shared by hundreds, possibly thousands, of players.

The game has an ambitious five-year Early Access roadmap. The developers plan to continuously release new content, including NPCs, raiders, settlements, lore, and quests. Future plans include adding helicopters, planes, and boats.

Progression is based on a full RPG stats and leveling system. Players earn perk points for bonuses like extra carry capacity or reduced injury chance. The system is designed around core skills (e.g., Agility, Construction, Cooking, Lockpicking) that improve through repeated use ('practice makes perfect').

The game launched into Early Access with a Standard Edition at $19.99 USD. The price is planned to increase as content is added. No special editions were announced.

Cross-platform play details have not been announced. The game will support both Windows and mobile devices (iOS/Android) for its persistent online world.

  Story and Setting

  The game begins at the start of the apocalypse (the 'first minute') when red spores shower the land, transforming 90% of life into 'Zeds'. The world is a vast, shared environment (up to 24x24 km) where water might still be running but is undrinkable, and the environment is characterized by the scent of ash and corpses. The narrative is player-driven, focusing on rebuilding civilization, finding a vaccine, or escaping the planet.

  Top 3 Gameplay Mechanics

  1. 1. Improvised 'Common Sense' Crafting: A unique system where players can fuse 'any two items found in the world' to create tools or weapons (e.g., taping a curling iron to a selfie stick, mounting a GPU on a toilet brush to make a battleaxe). 2. Embrace the Infection (Zed Play): An innovative twist where, upon death, players can optionally choose to respawn and continue playing as a powerful, leveling Zed, with a changed appetite (loving meat) and the ability to yoink new limbs from corpses. 3. Persistent Shared World: Hundreds of players share a massive, single, evolving world on official servers (no private servers). Players leave their permanent mark by building settlements, bridges, and fortifications that endure between play sessions.
