Afterinfection is an online zombie survival game on Unreal Engine 4 from a small development team. You spawn with nothing on a large four-by-four-kilometre island and can play in first or third person.
The loop is familiar: search buildings for supplies and weapons, hunt, mine and refine ore, cook, and manage hunger, thirst and bleeding. Next comes a shelter with upgradable tiers of fortification and raids on other people's bases. Airdrops and random events happen across the map, and groups and guilds help against other survivors and the zombies.
It is for fans of the DayZ and Rust style who don't need a big-budget production. The downside is scale: a small team makes it, and the latest Steam announcements date from 2023.
