Hey everyone!

A lot has gone into this passion project of mine, and I'm super excited to bring it to you all! Project Zomboid is easily one of my favorite games of all time on account of its overwhelmingly grim and oppressive atmosphere. The timing's also pretty insane since the game is seeing some big updates next week.

For context, this is easily one of the darkest and most depressing audios I've ever made. Please proceed with caution. The [Character Death] tag is there not because the speaker or listener die, but because the speaker recounts killing a couple zombies in moderate detail, and similar off-screen kills can be heard as well. The [Cutting] tag is present because the speaker suffers small cuts from repairing a radio. I really wanted everything to feel as accurately placed in 1993 Kentucky as I could manage, so I even went as far as to track down a crossword puzzle from Louisville's most popular newspaper a month before the Knox Event in-game.

Yet again, everyone give a HUGE thanks to u/beegeewanders for lending her voice to LBMW Announcer Jackie Jay! She managed to breathe so much life into a short role and I think you'll all agree.

Happy listening,

Jade 🖤

Summary

It was only supposed to be a week-long visit to your family's remote farmhouse on the outskirts of Ekron. Now, after two failed exit attempts and explicit orders to shelter in place, nearly a month has passed. You and your cousin are the only two left. You’ve been at it for hours, hunched over the old base station on the kitchen table, tools scattered around. You’ve tried to fix this thing three times already, every time with the same result - total silence, with the occasional static if you're lucky. This time, though, you've gone over everything with a fine-toothed comb and you’re damn near certain it’s ready to test. Time to ask your cousin if you can use the generator.
