Game Plot
The year is 1989. Unsuspecting citizens begin brewing the day's first cup of coffee and rushing to their television sets to catch the morning news on Program 1 before they head off to work as dawn breaks over the Taviana SSR — a quiet, secluded island outpost of the Soviet Union tucked away in the Baltic Sea. The morning's top story is about an unknown virus that has infected several individuals who have since been quarantined in the capital's Central Hospital. People initially don't think much of the virus as the first symptoms appear harmless, but they are soon followed by rotting of the skin and brain. The infected are eventually reduced to bloodthirsty zombies with only primal instincts that now roam the land.
Despite reassurances from the authorities that the situation is under control and their subsequent attempts to contain the outbreak with mass evacuations and the isolation of whole cities, the virus spreads beyond the islands. Realizing that there is nothing they can do to stop the inevitable, the Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, better known as Mayor George, flees to a secret air force base known as Sector B with high-ranking government officials and other wealthy residents — leaving everyone else to fend for themselves.
It turns out that a small number of people have a rare genetic mutation that allows them to remain unaffected by the virus. This group of people is called the survivors. Some survivors attempt to reach Sector B, but they soon find out that it is under guard by elite mercenaries who are not keen on any visitors.
The true origins of the virus are never uncovered. However, several theories exist among the survivors based on legends, speculations, and classified documents retrieved from various government buildings.

Weapons - Always carry a few weapons with you because nobody is your friend. Customize them as you want, attach a silencer so the zombies don’t hear you, but you may not want to paint it pink so your foes don't notice you.
Base Building - It may be warm and sunny now, but winter is coming so you better build a house, customize it as you want, make it unique, but don’t forget to make it useful too.
Vehicles - All kinds of vehicles have been left to rust in the streets, why not put them to use again? Welding some iron sheets on the windows will give you some protection, why not add a machine gun and a plow to drive through a hoard of zombies, or build your own APC or even repair a helicopter if you have the skills?
Clothes - Running in track suits will definitely be more comfortable, but in the mountains a coat will definitely be more useful. Don’t forget a backpack, and a helmet will come in handy too. Why not customize your clothes and make them unique?
Play as a team - It always helps to have someone covering your back, better hope your friend isn’t the one to stab you in the back though!
Factions - Look at the patches on someones jacket carefully before you shoot them, you wouldn’t want to shoot one of your own!
Dynamic weather - The weathermen are never right, it's better to be safe than sorry, you wouldn’t want to fly into a storm cloud or get caught up in a snowstorm!
