Project Zomboid is a post-apocalyptic world where a mysterious virus has turned most of the population into flesh-eating zombies. Project Zomboid takes place in a town called Muldraugh, Kentucky located in the United States. The town is small and surrounded by rural areas, with several neighborhoods, a downtown area, a mall, a prison, and a variety of other locations to explore. The Zeds can only move at a walking speed. Amputating bitten limbs doesn't save you.
