Early Access Review
This game is like a mix between State Of Decay (you can recruit and play as different members of your community and they can die, you can also build a base anywhere you like and you are not restricted to chosing a place) and Kenshi, it has workshop support and you can make/download any weapon or story you want, it has an in-game editor where you can edit scripts and items you don't like or make new ones and add whatever 3d model you want
You can talk and become a friend/enemy of anyone you want, they all have memories of everything you (and any other character) do (kill zombies, beg for food, threaten people) and what they're told about you by their community (and they can even lie and start rumours if they don't like you or want to destabilize the community lol)
You can create a character before starting the game and chose their name, gender and stuff like clothes (which you have to change depending on the season) personality (aggressive people will have more threatening dialogue and gullible people are more likely to believe lies they are told) and also their sexuality (if 2 members of the same community are "compatible" e.g male and female with less than a 20 year age gap like/respect each other they can start a relationship which will start the "story" (there's not story yet, the game's on early access and the only mode is sandbox where everything is randomized but you can win by having a relationship and either escaping to a FEMA camp or staying and fortifying your base, you can also download a story from the workshop and play that)
Communities will fall and start, they will have wars with each other and will recruit people to replace the ones that die, they'll farm to get food and go cut trees to repair their walls and buildings
The only thing I don't like is that you can't "enter" buildings, it's just a menu to store/take stuff, can't move or fight inside
It's an indie game in early access made by a single developer, it gets updated often (once or twice per month) and it's one of the best games I've ever played
