Play Instead Of: Minecraft/State Of Decay

Unturned is the unholy love-child between block-building, sandbox classic Minecraft, and open-world, survivor horror State of Decay 2. Whether you decide to go it alone, or form a community with your friends, you'll have to survive the zombie apocalypse by forraging for supplies, building and fortifying your own safe house, grow your own food, and trade with other players.

Another Early Access Game, the developers are working extremely close with the player community, constantly adding new perks to build the experience. The player can choose between PvP, battling other players to steal resources or outlast them in the arena, or PvE where they don't need to worry about being stabbed in back, just the hordes of zombies.

Forts can be as big as the player can imagine, with booby traps and secret passageways to survive invaders, and new open world maps are being created all the time. Survival extends beyond crops to hunting and fishing, and NPCs populate the world if the player wants to try their hand at the story mode and help rebuild civilisation.

Better still, there is a large mod community building for Unturned as well, keeping the game fun and fresh. Strap yourselves in. Minecraft just got undead!
