Massive Project Zomboid Mod Reshapes the Entire Game

Project Zomboid's "Week One" Mod: A Pre-Apocalypse Survival Challenge

A new Project Zomboid mod, "Week One," plunges players into the seven days before the zombie apocalypse, offering a drastically different and more challenging gameplay experience. Created by modder Slayer, this single-player mod completely overhauls the game's narrative and introduces a wealth of new content.

Instead of the familiar post-apocalyptic wasteland, players begin in a seemingly normal world on the brink of chaos. This pre-outbreak setting, reminiscent of The Last of Us' prologue, features escalating dangers, building tension as the zombie outbreak unfolds. Expect encounters with increasingly hostile groups, prison breaks, and the threat of escaped psychiatric patients. Slayer describes the experience as "brutal and fairly hard," emphasizing the carefully crafted, intensifying atmosphere.

The mod requires a new game save and is exclusively for single-player. Players are strongly advised to maintain the default starting day and time settings, although other parameters can be adjusted (though this is discouraged). Bug reports are encouraged by the modder.

For seasoned Project Zomboid players seeking a fresh, intensely challenging survival scenario, "Week One" offers a compelling and significantly altered gameplay experience. Download the mod directly from its Steam page.
