Most houses are inhabited by zombies, which you’ll have to avoid or dispatch using a hand-crafted melee weapon or any looted weapons you can find as you explore the world. To make surviving more difficult, however, there are no sources of drinkable fresh water and for food you’re reduced to picking berries, hunting animals, or looting deserted or overrun houses. Eat enough and the levels will stay the same, or if you’re really lucky, even increase. Surviving, then, consists of keeping your health above zero and maintaining your water and food intake, with the latter measured in calories per day: eat too few calories for the day and come the next morning your maximum health, stamina, and carrying capacity will all decrease. Black Island is an open world sandbox beyond a very short introductory tutorial, you’re left completely on your own to survive against the endlessly spawning undead.
Black Island is inhabited mainly by zombies who try to tear you to pieces whenever they see you, though other players and occasional NPC animals - deer and chickens, from what I’ve seen so far - may be in residence as well. You find yourself alone, with no equipment save your trusty battery-powered headlamp, in a random location on Black Island, and your only goal is to survive for as long as possible.Īs alluded to by the title, the focus of the game is survival. I haven’t seen any other backstory, so don’t know if the whole world is thought to be in this condition, what happened to cause it, and so on, but ultimately it’s unimportant for the game. You play an as-yet un-named and un-customisable man on Black Island, a relatively large island that is overrun by an unending horde of zombies.
I say “public” Early Access because I actually added it to my Steam wishlist in 2017 and it’s been available for all that time already, but with the Steam store page hidden from casual searching while the dedicated development team worked to get it to a state where they thought it was ready for more general consumption: Alpha 1.0, as they call it. Survive the Nights is a multi-player post-apocalyptic zombie survival game from a2z Interactive, recently released into public Early Access on Steam.
