Excellent Player resources and help from the developers can be found on player forums: http://forums.mongadillo.com

New Game Engine! Greatly improved player controls, much better UI, enhanced gameplay puts more control of your items and survival party in your hands!

This version is compatible with all iPad versions, and iPhone 3GS and later, and iPod touch 3G and 4G

"For those of a certain age who loved adventure game books, it’s the perfect app to play and one that players will find themselves returning to. Not least because they’ll have to be pretty skilled to ‘win’!"

4 out of 5 stars - Jennifer Allen, 148 Apps.com

"I've been having a blast with this since it's essentially gameifies what runs through my head whenever I read or watch a piece of zombie content, but it's also solid production-wise. I heartily recommend this to anyone that still has an itch for zombies, or even an appreciation of primarily text-based titles."

~ 4/5 stars - Brad Nicholson, Toucharcade

"ZDAY is a 21st century text-based Simulator game that puts you the player in tough, real-world situations. The game play is easy and you can soon control it well."

~ 4/5 stars - Top10app.com

"4/5 Stars" - Dan Zuccarelli, Gamezebo.com

What better way to survive a full blown apocalypse than to PRACTICE? This is not a traditional shooter or an arcade style game where you poke buttons to shoot digital bullets at virtual zombies. ZDAY is a 21st century text-based Simulator that puts you the player in tough, real-world situations and says "what would YOU do?".

Created and Designed by Animator and Director Ed Anderson, and beautifully illustrated by renowned DC comics artist Matt Haley, ZDAY is an intelligent adventure game that starts you in a crowded suburb at ground zero of a full blown infection, and says "what would you do?". Faced with one scenario after another, the player has to make choices that will either lead him to escape the zombie-filled suburbs or perish like so many others. The sophisticated game engine keeps track of every decision that you make, and keeps a running tab on your survival probability based on the choices you make. So keep your wits about you, and choose carefully, because one wrong move could have you facing a zombie horde or roving bands of trigger-happy looters. The detailed results given after the player has completed the challenge provides very useful insight to what he may have done right and wrong. If the player wants to try again he can, and since the game engine reshuffles many of the exact events, ZDAY Survival Simulator is never exactly the same twice.

Zombie fan must have with minor issues

This game is amazing and holds up very well. One prevalent issue is spelling typos, but if you can look past that, the sheer amount of content and possibilities is incredible. Very few zombie sims are like this one. Definitely download if you enjoy the until dawn and life is strange games.

Make another

When will there be a another because I love this game

Two complaints or more
     
by the copshop 24 · December 1, 2021

It’s a good game don’t get me wrong but I feel that the Survivors logic is strange one because that don’t have programming to surrender when that are badly hurt or that they see you as a target for tank mode to I thought the checkpoint was gonna be good not a firefight even though I was also military or police I think it whole be better if you did something to fix that (😐not telling you how to make your own game just what I think😐)

Admittedly I did not finish this game, but I can’t with how bad the battle system is. There is no damage indicator, distance makes no sense, you can’t see if you miss or just didn’t do a lot of damage, there’s no tutorial; just a button that says “Fight!”. The story from where I got was not enthralling and I don’t know why this is labeled a simulator.

Classic

Been playing this for years. Wish it would get an update

Not like the old days
     
by Logan666zz · November 20, 2021

Welp I was excited but all those days when 12 year old me actually spent money on this game I played this game for 2 years when it was taken off the App Store due to google maps being privatized which I get but I prob spent over 100$ originally getting every weapon like the survivalist-axe-shotgun Every companion I had over 45 bases all over America and two where successfully raided But this game is like 10 steps forwards and 1,000,000 steps backwards with a survival skill of 87% and 4 companions on my 5th play threw of hospital I am very disappointed and I’d feel dumb if there is a way to get the old game back but I feel as if it’s lost to the 30 people who played it sad to say I miss the old game
