Military Keynesianism

It's ten years since the infection started. Long-established settlements are collapsing, one by one, for unknown reasons. Survivors are running to the hills to escape, hoping for safety in remote places. As another refugee, you're here to carve out a new life for yourself - by any means necessary.

<p class="bb_paragraph" ><strong>Survivalist: Invisible Strain</strong> is an open-world colony-building sim set in the zombie apocalypse, often compared to State of Decay, Project Zomboid, Rimworld, Kenshi, or &quot;The Sims but with zombies&quot;.  It focuses on characters and relationships as well as survival.</p><h2 class="bb_tag" ><strong>You can talk to anyone...</strong></h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >All living characters in the world have names and personalities.  They remember your actions, and their memories affect their mood and their opinion of you.  They have their own lives: gossiping, eating, sleeping, keeping warm, working and fighting.  Some will give you quests; it's up to you how or whether to complete them. Use negotiation, friendship, violence, stealth or trickery to achieve your objectives!</p><p class="bb_paragraph" ><span class="bb_img_ctn"><video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1054510/extras/99940eee3afcac5a1a35400d44121e4e.poster.avif?t=1770139711" width=598 height=250 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1054510/extras/99940eee3afcac5a1a35400d44121e4e.webm?t=1770139711" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1054510/extras/99940eee3afcac5a1a35400d44121e4e.mp4?t=1770139711" type="video/mp4"></video></span></p><h2 class="bb_tag" ><strong>You can recruit anyone...</strong></h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >You can recruit other survivors by making them like you, or respect you, or fear you. As you recruit followers they'll need a place to sleep, a steady food source, a fire to keep warm, and walls to keep out enemies. You'll need to manage their morale and relationships; sometimes they'll get depressed, or start fighting each other. Sometimes they'll kiss and make up. Sometimes they'll want to hang out with you, or chat you up.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" >You can chop down trees, mine rocks, and look for other resources in the abandoned towns dotted around the map.  Set traps for enemies, or rabbits. Hunt deer, keep chickens, grow crops, or take more desperate measures if you're really hungry! Assign your community members roles such as Farmer, Chef, Arrow Crafter, etc.  Over time you can build a well-defended, self-sufficient settlement that even produces its own bullets. </p><p class="bb_paragraph" ><span class="bb_img_ctn"><video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1054510/extras/b9c31befb4bad3d14f35f85a6996a656.poster.avif?t=1770139711" width=598 height=250 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1054510/extras/b9c31befb4bad3d14f35f85a6996a656.webm?t=1770139711" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1054510/extras/b9c31befb4bad3d14f35f85a6996a656.mp4?t=1770139711" type="video/mp4"></video></span> </p><h2 class="bb_tag" ><strong>You can be anyone...</strong></h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >When you start a new game you can set up your character's appearance, clothing, equipment, skills, and personality.

Directly control each character in the third person action view, or go into the overhead view to assign orders. You can target your enemies' legs to slow them down, or try to hit their heads for massive damage. You can dodge or block in melee combat - and so can your enemies. Different characters have different skill sets and can level up to improve their Archery, Firearms or Hand to Hand abilities. Eating better food improves your Constitution, which makes you more likely to survive when you lose a fight.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" ><span class="bb_img_ctn"><video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1054510/extras/c12d097f1734344c1aa1a59e7b16a1a1.poster.avif?t=1770139711" width=598 height=250 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1054510/extras/c12d097f1734344c1aa1a59e7b16a1a1.webm?t=1770139711" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1054510/extras/c12d097f1734344c1aa1a59e7b16a1a1.mp4?t=1770139711" type="video/mp4"></video></span> </p><h2 class="bb_tag" ><strong>You can kill anyone...</strong></h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >You can sneak up on enemies and assassinate them, or just knock them out cold and steal their stuff.
