Can I Survive My Own Epic Adventure in Project Zomboid?

easy guys today I wanted to revisit project zomboid and design a custom challenge a story of melancholy Despair and Desperation that only project zomboid can provide and survive till its conclusion I would use debug mode to set up my objectives and story beforehand and then see if I could flip over to standard gameplay and survive it I'm still new to project zomboid with just over 40 hours of gameplay to my name most of which you can find in my first 30 days video this felt like an exciting way to explore and learn more about the game our story starts with Noah Garcia a construction worker who wakes up after blacking out after a car accident as he comes around he fumbles for the keys it's dead the truck had seen better days Noah tried to recall the events before the crash he was at work when it all happened as the chaos and the Panic ensued he ran for it with his wife Joanna hoping they could rendezvous with her father Jack and find somewhere safe to take shelter Joanna where was she he looked in the passenger seat and saw a note it was Joanna's handwriting I pray to God you come around you passed out after the crash I called Dad for help but more of those things keep coming they were all over the highway and you were wedged in I'm sorry we couldn't get you out in time me and Dad are going to go back to his and get more help we will be right back for you I promise please stay put love you Joanna how long had it been since the accident he didn't know his watch had been broken in the crash and there was no sign of Joanna Noah made the call to abandon the truck and try and find her he was hungry he checked the truck and saw his work hat and Hammer fastening it to his belt Noah glanced at the string of corpses behind his truck what had happened here he noticed one of the infected had a classic watch so he slipped it on it was early morning he must have been in the truck all night the cold weather outside convinced him to grab a hoodie off another body and his common sense to rip up some clothing and make some rudimentary bandages to mop up the blood Noah had probably run these zombies down before the crash he grabbed some clothes and headed for the highway still trying to come to terms with the fact that these people had been alive just days before he had to find Joanna and the note said that she and her dad had headed back to his place to get help so that would be the first place he would check the pilot Crepes Pancake House the thought of Pancakes instantly made Noah feel hungry despite having just witnessed a pile of bloody corpses hunger drove him forwards and he slowly pulled one zombie at the time to avoid the two large hordes on either side of the Pancake House Noah couldn't help but chuckle he saw a zombie with a fork stuck in his shoulder someone must have mistaken this guy for a pancake he grinned and then forced himself to focus he had to stay sharp and the thought of Joanna becoming one of these things left an unpleasant feeling in his stomach Noah cleared the dead and peered through the restaurant Windows it looked like a few biters were hanging around the toilets it was close quarters in there so he left the door open in case he had to make a quick Escape only to be surprised by a biter creeping up behind him that was close these things were creeping around everywhere he checked the dead for valuables being sure to check the bodies and ensure each zombie was truly dead it felt like some were pretending and he wanted no unpleasant surprises then he hunted the kitchens for food he found bleach and a dish towel to clean himself in his wounds caked in Blood Sweat and mud eventually Yahtzee Noah stuffed waffles and pancakes into his backpack even though many of them were hard and stale he was hungrier than he realized he made use of the working water taps cleaning his clothes and body he was relieved to feel clean again avoiding the risk of infection if scratched while caked in Grime and filth with his belly full he slipped out the back door into the residential areas careful to avoid the large hordes zombies were hiding everywhere he had to find Joanna's dad's house he stuck to his tried and tested method he crept in standing up until noticed by the closest then taking care of them one by one surprised by hidden zombies Noah cleared The Horde but was exhausted and thirsty desperate to find Joanna he pushed on into the evening Darkness he moved further into the residential areas clearing out zombies hidden behind trees and bushes this gave him a safe spot to backtrack if he ran into a horde further on he pushed as hard as he could but he knew he wouldn't make it to Joanna exhausted and with the zombies Relentless he had to seek somewhere to rest he cursed himself wondering if Joanna needed help but knew he was of no to her dad he had to take a break he found an empty house the front door was locked but he slipped in through an unlocked window [Music] there was a woman stuck in the bathroom Not Unusual he thought he helped himself to a few items from the fridge and stuffed some cans into his bag for later he ate some stale pancakes from the restaurant and then crashed on the bed day two twenty past eight he woke up miserable Noah grabbed a silly Magazine from his bag Reminiscing on some sweet childhood memories he checked in with himself and continued up the road now strewn with the corpses there were many beautiful houses down this way Joe and Noah had bought some land and started to build their own place in a quiet part of town Noah with his 15 years of experience in the building trade was making progress with the foundations thinking about all their plans increased his resolve he had to make it to Jack's Place tonight but the zombie hordes were all over the street he pushed on but he was caught off guard by zombies he backtracked but there were too many he made a break for it diving over a fence into some trees desperation to find Joanna pushed him onwards he traveled through back Gardens avoiding zombies hiding in bushes and crossing streets to jump fences occasionally he'd pick off stragglers on the way finally Noah arrived at Joanna's dad's house and saw a police car out front he checked around the back to ensure it was safe but there was no sign of Jack's Car all the windows in the house looked smashed in this wasn't good he took down the zombies with his hammer and finished off the last with his foot with his heart in his stomach he entered the house he took a desperate Swig of water from the sink but everything was neat and tidy there must have been a break-in from the bathroom a corpse laid on the floor but it was no one he knew it must have been one of the biters from outside he checked upstairs no sign of them where were they he checked the garage outside a biter was banging against the garage door he dealt with her but it was no one he knew he came back inside and that's when he noticed it staring at him right in front of his face another note Noah I hope to God you find this I am so sorry we tried to get help we called the police but those things were everywhere there were shots outside and they broke in through the back window Dad tried to hold them off but they were too many one of the neighbors said people are taking shelter in the Holy Grace oh my God this is a nightmare wherever you are I hope you're okay love you Joanna the holy Grace damn that was on the other side of town it was late he found a bed upstairs and settled in for the night exhausted he fell asleep grateful for the shelter day three it was 4 AM when he woke Noah grabbed a bite to eat and waited for the sun to rise before wandering out into the early morning light the holy Grace was a Community Church on the other side of town probably a good place to hold up is that where the survivors were Noah hadn't seen anyone else for days no one uninfected at least he made his way through the back Gardens and two houses away he found a shed with a club Hammer he grabbed it and a metal bar just in case he felt more confident with a weapon in his hand but he stuck to hopping fences and traveling through backyards it seemed like a safer way to travel the roads and streets had large roaming groups of biters that Noah would rather avoid but he jinxed it tripping and falling over a fence he bound up the wound with rip sheets hoping it was enough for now Noah took the widest Arc possible avoiding larger groups of biters dealing with only one or two when necessary the great thing about residential areas is you're only a few feet away from a drink of water some food and a bed but there was no time to rest you had to press onto the holy Grace Noah kept an eye out for biters and surprises as he slipped by unnoticed aided by the tree's camouflage his bandage was dirty and the wound infacted all he could do was apply a fresh bandage and keep going until he found Joanna pushed on catching the attention of a few zombies Moore joined the group exhausted he stopped crouching and walked only to find more zombies on the path ahead with a large group on his tail he had no choice but to keep going he dashed over some bushes and fell flat on his face cutting himself come on get up he shouted to himself but there was no time to address the wound he crouched around the back of a house hoping to lose the horde behind him and then jumped a bush on the other side falling flat on his face again it had worked though he lost them he got his bearings he was near the holy Grace he would soon find Joanna and Jack's sports car was on the other side of the car park Dead zombies lay everywhere and cars were strewn about he was close people had been here not long ago the church was a bloodbath more dead no sign of Joanna where was she a pair of zombies suddenly fell into the room piling in from outside he pounded them with his hammer but they kept getting up was this normal of course in truth he was exhausted and hungry he fought for what seemed like forever he quickly grabbed a snack to replenish his strength and tore some clothes to tie-ups and wounds ready to find Joanna he ventured outside he kept thinking to himself they could all Escape if Joe and Jack were held up somewhere but where were they and what safe place in the city could they go he heard some moaning coming from outside an empty office building it was Jack Joanna's dad he was one of them now beaten down but still hanging on Jack was always a fighter Noah could leave him here his legs look broken or he could try and put him out his misery he wouldn't want to be left like this with only his Club Hammer he tried to make it as quick as possible sorry Jack now it took a moment to mourn him and that's when he spotted another note this usually meant one thing that Joanna wasn't there and so the second he saw it he got a Sinking Feeling Noah if you find this note I'm sorry I wish I hadn't left you in the car on your own who knew all this crazy would go down the way it did I'm not feeling good noie I think one of those things scratched me I just wanted to say thank you for coming into my life making me happy for all the memories whatever happens I love you Noah had a lump in his throat he went into the next room but it was empty with only a smash window on the other side where was she had she escaped she had to be okay she had to be he removed the broken shards of glass and jumped through the window and searched the Woodland Joanna where are you and there she was [Music] he pushed her back Joanna it's me it was no use she didn't recognize him she was gone he couldn't bring himself to finish her there had to be hope but deep down he knew there wasn't he picked up her body and had it as fast as he could for Jack sports car on the other side of the car park he caught the attention of a horde of walkers on the highway please God let the keys be in the car he prayed to himself go go go he put his foot down he drove on autopilot still grieving eventually he pulled up at a tiny secluded country home out back was some land he had bought for himself and Joanna he laid her down carefully and collapsed exhausted until morning day four this morning was different he had no reason to be anywhere anymore without Joanna to look for he ate and carefully picked up her body he dug a grave carefully laid Joanna to rest and buried her at the house this was to be their home one day their project it seemed fitting that Joanna be laid to rest here a heavy feeling of emptiness lay inside him he was alone now seemingly the last survivor of Knox country death was peaceful but never for those that left behind he clung to the three letters the only reminder he had left of her repeating her last words to him over and over in his head for Noah the world didn't make a lot of sense anymore rummaging through his backpack he found the bleach from the pancake store he closed his eyes and nose and drank it burned like hell these were the end times there was no hope of survival this was Noah Garcia's story and this is how he died [Music]
