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.
The player starts out as Marcus, a store clerk who finds the world has gone to hell after a hunting trip. As the player gathers survivors and builds relationships, the player can play other characters. The story progresses based on whether the player is focused on the story events, which when triggered can change the world drastically, making it more difficult to survive.

All bases have a defensive perimete of some type and store the players weapons and items that they scavenge. In order to help protect their home, players can upgrade bases to include facilities that they feel will help their survivors thrive.

Each base has a fixed number of interior and exterior facilities that can be built with a fixed number of pre-built facilities already in place.
