here is my idea for a zombie game. you see in most zombie games you are trying to win and basically beat the zombies in some fashion, but what if instead of having to beat them or win the game you have to survive rather then conquer.

it would kinda be more sandbox game play rather then linier gameplay with HUGE spraling areas where you have to build shelter find food and water. with different challanges for living in each area
( like more zombies stonger zombies,less food and building material or less areas the zombies cant reach) and the game would keep going even when you arent playing to up the challange.

it would also require you to use real survival tecniques. a good example of what im thinking is in the start you play through your characters flash back of how the zombie Apocalypse starts. this is when you get the items you start with if you choose to go all ranbo and load up on guns you will not have food or building tools.

which means you'll wind up having to scronge around like mad to find food water and things to build a shelter and since theres a limit to how much you can carry you would have to drop all those cool guns you loaded yourself up with.plus loud gunfire atracts zombie hordes like crazy. so you would be forced to think what will help me live rather then what will help me kill.

so what do you think of this idea of a new type zombie game
