About this gameFull description from Steam
VEIN is a post-apocalyptic survival multiplayer sandbox game. In the near future, the apocalypse has occurred: hostile zombies roam the Earth, most people have died, and society has collapsed. You are a survivor. Gather supplies to survive, explore abandoned buildings, combat bandits, defend your home, and rebuild society with friends. Dynamic Environment As time passes and seasons change, the world of Vein does too. Persistent, long-scale random events affect gameplay. Intelligent AI AI can see, hear, feel, and smell you, and react intelligently to those senses. You're being watched. Terrifying zombie variants make survival that much more difficult. Customizable Characters From your hair to your body type to your stats, you can customize your character and make them truly unique among the survivors. Usable Everything You can interact with nearly everything you can see. Open mailboxes, adjust faucets, and knock on doors. Throw a can of beans at a zombie if you like. Fortification Build over the destroyed world and establish safehouses. Defend yourself from raiders and invasions. Maintain your base by yourself or with friends. Long-Term Survivalism Hunt, fish, and trap. Till land and grow your own food. Chop your own wood. Once canned goods run out, you're on your own. Vehicles and Maintenance Get around the world of Vein with cars and trucks. Refuel and maintain your vehicle. Upgrade parts to repair damage and improve performance.
