Project Zomboid (2025) — Free Download for Mac

Project Zomboid is an open-world zombie apocalypse simulator. Your fate is sealed: you're screwed. The only question is, how will you die?

A handful of surviving inhabitants of two sleepy towns are forced to search for food every day, loot, build fortifications and get by as best they can: zombies are everywhere, there is no help to wait for, and they can only rely on their own legs and ingenuity.

Already available in this version:

Hardcore survival simulation in an open world overrun by the living dead.

Network game with support for custom servers.

Local co-op mode for 4 people in split screen mode.

Detection system and dynamic lighting: zombies see and hear you.

Stay in the shade, try not to make noise, turn off the lights at night and, in any case, cover the windows with sheets.

A vast area to explore, the outlines of which will remind you of the landscapes outside your window. Explore, settle in, survive. And pay attention to the mapping project from Blindcoder.

Use various tools, create weapons and barriers, cook food. And if you learn to work with wood and saw trunks, you can even build a fort and hide from zombies in it.

Come up with ways to cope with hunger, thirst, illness, boredom and depression.

Night follows day. Power grids are unreliable. Zombies roam everywhere. Winter is coming. Nature takes its toll.

Farming, hunting wild animals, cooking and character customization - your skills grow based on how you spend your time.

Classic zombies that don't run (unless you select the appropriate option in the menu).

Atmospheric music by Zach Beaver.

In addition to the main survival modes: severe trials and a special mode "To the last fighter".

Mod support.

Xbox controller support on Windows [other controllers can be supported via manual setup; gamepads are not supported in the current Mac version].
