This community is to find that game you can't remember. Like it's on the tip of your tongue.

This community is mainly for finding a specific game title. If you are looking for game suggestions, !videogamesuggestions@lemmy.zip is the place to be.

If you want to post, use this syntax: [Platform][Estimated Year] A short description of the game.
Example:
[NES][1980]A man jumping on mushrooms

You can add a longer description in the Body. Preferably according to the template in the rules.

This syntax and our template further down makes it easier to find your game, so please use it.

If your game is found, change the title by adding [Solved] in front of the title, and the game name. For example:
[Solved][NES][1980s] Super Mario Bros.
If you're not sure about any of the details you can add [Unknown] instead.

Rules:

Has anyone made a zombie game where you actually clear/retake an infested city? Lots of games have you raid a city to build a base somewhere else, (7D2D, unturned, now Vein, etc.) or just do things in an infested city (Dying Light, RE, etc.) sometimes culminating in some sort of big climax that results in or implies the end of the zombie times, or maybe you just leave, but are there any that have that element of progression where you slowly take more of the map and the zombies aren't just randomly spawned in a radius around the player regardless of how many you knock down? The closest I have ever found was an old flash game from when those were a thing, based around worker placement and resource management.

I'd really recommend diving heavily into Zombie. I keep meaning to. Vein feels like the 1st/3rd person version of Zomboid, except that Vein is not nearly so feature-rich (yet).

My ideal would be a game that feels like the exploration and scavenging elements of The Walking Dead. I don't especially need fast crazy zombies, but I do want them blend in with the debris of the world when torpid, furniture like bookshelves knocked over and possibly Zs hiding under there, etc. Can't just walk into a bookstore and have easy sightlines through half the place and spot every foe before having to deal.

While I'm wishing, the group/colony dynamics of State of Decay 2, base building that at least lets me reinforce/fortify stuff and scrabble up some walls...
