Project Zomboid is a game of stories. Every survivor has their own story, even if that story exists only in the mind of a single player. But even absent the details of the character's stories, their ultimate demise condensed into an image tells another story, a meta-story of the player's progress.
Here is mine.
Of course this meta-story is not finished. There are those still going...
I remember all of their names...
If this has piqued your interest in the game, Mariplier's recent attempt going into the game blind is super entertaining
