#apocalptic

Don't know how many of you really give a damn about browser games, but me, I'm a sucker for zombie/survival games. This one really struck a chord with me though.

Basically your objective is to survive. You are a citizen with 40 other townspeople in a town in the middle of a zombie infested desert. Every night, a horde attacks, so the focus of the game is to survive as many days as you can. Oh, and each townsperson is another player! This makes networking very, very important. You slip up, and you could soon be shunned. Point is, it's very focused on a post-apocalyptic situation, where people band together. The tension is very high regardless of the need for cooperation. Some people are selfish, and upgrade their own homes for defense. Others contribute selfishly. The only problem here is towards the end of the game, as people get killed and bodies dumped outside to prevent resurrection, you end up with a handful of survivors. Murder comes into play here. You CAN poison other players, or even close the gates on them, stranding them outside. It's just thrilling to watch/participate, a nice town struggle everyday, lynching traitors as well as trying to cope with each loss. Then, when it all goes to hell, the fun begins and the casualties start rising.
