State of Decay is an open world zombie survival horror game, developed by Undead Labs for Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows. Unlike games such as Left 4 Dead and Dead Island, State of Decay focuses on survival, stealth, evasion, distractions, securing resources, and moving through the world than actual combat. Players must choose a location to build a base and gathering supplies through raids to abandoned buildings in the surrounding areas. Players can encounter and rescue other AI survivors to trade with or recruit to defend the base.
