So I saw this on Rock Paper Shotgun it's a minecraft ish survival game with more focus on the survival and repelling zombies.
I've always wanted a zombie game where the survival is more fleshed out where you can build a base raid places for supplies build up your survivors and gradually push back. I must have backed half a dozen games on kickstarter that implement parts of it and played many games that almost get to that goal but not quite. So far state of decay has come closest and the newer dlc for that may improve the originals failings.
This Game looks like it might be in that niche. It's free to play and on steam early access.

I've played a bit of State of Decay, perhaps I should give it more of a go.
I tried Project Zomboid which in concept seems awesome, there is on going survival which goes to the extent of cooking, crafting items, barricading buildings, sewing crops when you run out of food to scavenge, water supply shutting down after a number of weeks, etc. It is a really detailed survival sim, unfortunately, day to day existence in a zombie apocalypse is pretty tedious.
I played the original state of decay on xbox and enjoyed it there was still a lot missing that I would have liked for my ideal zombie apocalypse survival simulator. :D they released a DLC pack where you are running a small military team and it had a load of new stuff which might make it closer.
I played Project Zomboid a bit a while back it was quite tough as a game and it was a more individual story rather than a say dawn of the dead people hiding in a shopping mall.
Things like 7 Days to Die and the upcoming Roam had elements of this in them. For zombie carnage the new Dead Rising 3 is pretty good taking the improvised weapons concept from 1&2 and adding open world and improvised constructed vehicles Steamroller + Motorbike FTW!
Maybe I need to write my own zombie apocalypse simulator to get all the things I want in it :S
Had a look at this last night, looks like the BIZNIZ! I think it's a great candidate for a weekend evening/afternoon of chuckles.
