I don't usually review games after having only played single-digit hours, but this is cool. I think I backed a game that had a similar premise to this a (LONG) while ago, but can't find the info for the life of me. Being able to play in your own neighborhood is AMAZING. The map isn't 100% accurate - most altitude data isn't reflected, nor are bridges represented accurately. That aside, it's a fun survival game that isn't super punishing if you happen to mess up. I had my people scavenging and quickly filled up storage, and then couldn't get them to harvest the correct items to create a warehouse. It took some time, patience, starving citizens, and some defections, but they all persevered and soldiered on.

There are bugs, but it's early access. I got stuck in a dialog loop where I couldn't respond to a radio conversation. Not a bug, but infected can waltz right through buildings, so don't expect to create a perimeter with existing assets before you adapt them (you should be able to board them up). Minor issues abound, but overall it's fun and unique, worth it!
