Overview

The world is no longer safe.

Infection System
How Infection Works
Whenever a zombie attacks you, there is a 15% chance of becoming infected.
Infection progresses through 5 stages, each becoming more dangerous over time. If the infection reaches Stage 5, the player dies and reanimates as a zombie.
⚠️ Stage 5 is irreversible.
Infection Stages
| Stage | Symptoms | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 | Mild nausea, slight slowness | Easily treatable |
| Stage 2 | Increased nausea, minor damage over time | Antidote effective |
| Stage 3 | Weakness, visual distortion | Dangerous |
| Stage 4 | Heavy damage over time, severe disorientation | Final chance |
| Stage 5 | ☠️ Death & zombification | No cure |
Infection Treatment
| Item | Effect |
|---|---|
| Antidote | Completely cures infection up to Stage 4 |
| Suppressant | Pauses infection progression for 2 minutes |
| Painkiller | Temporary resistance effect |
Survival Systems
❤️ Manual Healing
Natural regeneration has been completely disabled.
You must rely on crafted medical supplies to survive injuries.
🏃 Stamina System
Stamina controls your ability to:
- Sprint
- Fight effectively
- Perform exhausting actions
Running out of stamina can leave you vulnerable during combat or escapes.
💧 Thirst System
Hydration is essential.
Keep water supplies stocked or risk dehydration penalties.
Purified water is safe — future updates may introduce contaminated water systems.
