Our take on Zafehouse: Diaries
The procedural structure and relationship management create varied survival stories, but they give up the predictability of a fixed campaign. Outcomes depend on changing characters, locations, and decisions rather than a carefully authored sequence.
What is Zafehouse: Diaries?
Lead five survivors through an abandoned town while undead roam outside and relationships inside the group remain unstable.
Assign tasks, make difficult choices, support particular survivors, and spread rumours about their histories. Other threats include lynch mobs, zombie hunters, and bitten survivors, which can be handled through negotiation, trade, bargaining, or combat. A procedural system creates new survivors, towns, and story content for each adventure. Built-in editors allow additions such as the player, friends, or a hometown setting. A diary interface records actions, decisions, and disasters, creating a record of each survival story that can be saved and shared.
