The world’s collapse and the origins of the Infected are still being developed. For now, the focus is on survival systems and giving players freedom in how they play.
The Infected is in active Early Access development. Some features are still being added and balanced, and you may encounter bugs or performance issues. We’re a small team building this game with the help of community feedback. If you’re looking for a complete experience, you may wish to wait. However, if you want to help shape the development, we welcome you now!
The aim is to deliver a feature-rich survival crafting game with more systems and player choice than most of the genre. Survival can mean farming, base-building, or facing hostile AI — the choice is yours.

Fun game, building mechanics are good, zombies are crazy but they dont hit you with too many at once
this game has had a long road and i have started over a few times, left and came back to see what is new. i think the improvements are really moving the game forward. there is one thing i would like to see is some kind of beacon for where your home is. in the dark even with a mark on the map which is slightly off i can not see my house and have literally almost died now twice trying to find it in the dark with the map marker as close as i can get it to where it is. i am about to make pumpkin lights all around it hoping it helps. but maybe a beacon light on top of my house or something that goes with the game would be so helpful. something that doesn't need a lot to make. a suggestion for quality of life in the darkest of night. also can we make a bigger water canteen? those my only 2 gripes just keep up the improvements.
Забыть и не вспоминать) Первое что вызвало самый большой негатив это инвентарь. Такое ощущение что провели конкурс на самый нелепый и убогий инвентарь. И победителя добавили в игру. Так еще и на основе инвентаря сделали и хранилища) Взаимодействие со станками любыми какой то абсурд. Звери бегают прямо сквозь деревья. Зомби или что там за монстры явно прошли подготовку у Джеки Чана. Увороты такие что удивляешься насколько ущербным сделан персонаж. Мир пустой. В тех малых заброшках что есть лут шляпа. Графика кошмар. Хоть в каких настройках выглядит древней Не советую тратить время.
コントローラーでの操作が面倒すぎて、まともにプレイできません。 良くなることを祈りつつ放置で・・・ ゲーム内容は、まだ初めてのいないので評価しません。 設定メニューが少し揺れるのは、私のPCの問題?そういう仕様かな?
Great building game
No paran de estropear la partida, paso de empezar de 0 otra, basura de steam.

Симулятор дачника. Симпатичная система строительства и выживания. Отлично продуманная смена времен года. Не хватает пока разнообразия противников, плюс немного угнетает, что самое пока мощное оружие в игре - арбалет, при том что действие происходит в современном мире. И на данный момент не совсем понятно, для чего в игре сюжет, учитывая общую неспешность развития персонажа.
I find myself repeatedly coming back to this game over the years. It runs smooth, has a rather in depth building system, and having the option to turn off enemies so I can just build is incredibly refreshing. Even while running on an old. barely functioning laptop, theres no issues with lag or struggles with having to use lower quality graphics. Being able to drop the game, come back and there be a new update has been amazing! PROS: - Easy to learn, hard to master - In depth crafting and base building - Survival system isn't overly punishing - Can run on a potato of a laptop CONS: - Every major game update has shunted my entire save under the map, rendering old saves useless - Travel is relatively slow unless you get a vehicle early on - Combat is basically just "Stab and pray you hit fast enough first" - Some systems, such as ore collection, aren't entire clear and require outside resources, of which there arent very many
It was fantastic until I flipped the ATV. Presses P to unstuck (while on it) . It landed on it's side and I fell through the map. Now all my progress is gone and when I load that save, it just shows me under the map (gray screen and text boxes) then FATAL ERROR (CRASSSHHHHH) I lost all my progress. This was right outside the Trader POI in the center right of the map between the two fences leading to the Trader. I don't want to start over. DEVS HELP!!!! If I don't receive help, my review will change and we all know how bad reviews can kill the game......
