Day 50 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots

Today’s is a pretty Simple one. the Game is Project Zomboid. I usually don’t like sharing 2D games because they’re hard to make look presentable, but i also like sharing images that break out of my usual “Here’s a Landscape shot” and wanted to share this. Me and My friend had a cookout in a motel we have a Base in. My Character is a Regular Middle Aged Suburban Dad named Jerry, while his character is My Character’s Adoptive Stoner Son, named Cable. There’s a whole lot more “lore” behind them but that’s the general gist of it.
Can't get my friends to ever play this, because they say "it looks like the Sims". Completely ignoring the insane amount of depth this game has.
Sadly not really a game I wanted to play solo much.
Zomboid started as a Sims mod that has taken on its own world and systems. Imagine the Sims, but a zombie simulator with very detailed and in depth health and healing, food and drink cook, crafting, driving, etc.
They aren't wrong that it looks like the Sims, but that also doesn't make it easy or boring.
Same. The bane of my existence is that the few gamer friends I got only play online board games together, I need friends to play my co-op stuff with
I only have one friend who will really play with me, so I get what you mean. I added the NPC mod, and that helped a little, but damn nothing compares to having an actual group to play with.
