okay when u start u start off with a pistol and to survive the night u need to kill the zombies its easier when u aim for the head. when u survive the first night.a map of the town will appear and u need to look for weapons survivors and supplies. once u spend Ur 12 hours u start an other night and u need survive all the night if u don't its no big deal u start the night over. once u have enough supplies to travel go to the one with the less pop. unless u want a challenge go for the one with the biggest pop.(the one with the most pop. has more weapons and zombies) and when u reach the next town u do the same as u did the first town u keep doing this until u get to the forked road and u have to chose union city or the base. the base has a lot of cool guns and if u want to have fun go to the base but if u just want to bet the game go to union city and win the game.
