The Walking Unalived
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
**NOTE TO EVERYONE: THIS IS ONLY AN TEXT BASED GAME**
In a world ravaged by the undead, where chaos reigns supreme and civilization is but a distant memory, you find yourself awakening from a nightmare into an even more terrifying reality. The once familiar streets now lie in ruins, a testament to the devastation that has befallen humanity. Your name, once a symbol of identity, now holds little meaning in this new world where survival is the only currency.
As you gather your bearings, the weight of solitude presses down upon you. Your name, whether it be Rick Grimes or any other, serves as a reminder of a past life left behind. But there is no time for reminiscing, for every moment wasted is a step closer to oblivion.
**The Struggle for Resources**
With each passing day, the struggle for survival intensifies. Scavenging becomes a way of life as you scour your surroundings for the bare necessities. Whether it be within the confines of your own shelter or venturing out into the treacherous unknown, every decision carries with it the burden of consequence.
**Crafting: A Ray of Hope**
In the midst of despair, a glimmer of hope emerges in the form of crafting. With the limited resources at your disposal, you must utilize your ingenuity to forge instruments of survival. From makeshift weapons to essential tools, each creation serves as a testament to your resilience in the face of adversity.
**Encounters with the Undead**
But survival in this world is not guaranteed, for lurking around every corner are the undead – relentless in their pursuit of the living. With every encounter, you must weigh the risks and choose your actions wisely. Will you stand and fight, or flee in search of safer refuge?
**The Weight of Choice**
In this unforgiving landscape, every choice you make has the power to shape your fate. Will you embrace the darkness that surrounds you, or will you cling to the last vestiges of humanity that remain? The path ahead is fraught with peril, but within the depths of despair lies the potential for redemption.
**Your Journey Awaits**
Embark on a journey into the heart of darkness, where the line between life and death grows ever thinner. Will you succumb to the chaos that threatens to consume you, or will you rise above it and emerge as a beacon of hope in a world consumed by despair? The choice is yours, traveler, but remember – in the end, only the strong will survive.

Hey, I think it's an interesting idea to take the zombie survival/crafting archetype and see how you it could work in a text-only setting. For me personally I don't like to read too much text in a game - so this isn't the game for me. I still gave it a shot though. I think going out to gather ressources works great in this kind of game. You only filter out the relevant information and adding more areas and events to those areas is a simple way to add more content.
What didn't really work for me is the crafting. Finding and remembering the right commands made it something of a choir to navigate through the menus. I think it would help to either use an engine that allows for a kind of crafting UI or at least just checking boxes/clicking on words/buttons or alternativly to really simplify the process.
I wish you good luck with your project!
