Fort Zombie is a focused-scope, casual RPG title in which the game world revolves around a single building – your fort – and the mission specific chunks of the small town that surrounds it. Instead of a major city or a vast countryside, players focus their efforts on building up a single structure, finding and training survivors, and venturing out into town looking for supplies. Players take control of a particular building in town, and begin gathering the supplies and survivors needed to build it up by day and help defend it by night.
