So I am thinking of making stories based from my experience from a game called Cataclysm:Dark days ahead. It's a very interesting game that contains huge amount of content.

What is Cataclysm:Dark Days Ahead(CDDA)?

It's a turn based open world rpg, the game throws you in a world where you don't only need to face different kinds of zombies but also creatures from other worlds and other dimensions, there is also the deadly fungus that infects all things that their spores land on. It has a lot of content and very fun.

The best part is you can be anything you want and try to survive everything that comes your way, and by anything I mean anything!, You can choose a lot of scenarios you want to try, wanna start inside a military base that's already been taken over by the undead?, Wanna be hung over in the middle of a city filled with undead? Or do you just wanna be a normal survivor that managed to reach the evacuation center? Whatever it is you can! And it doesn't stop there you can also choose what kind of character you wanna be. You can choose to be any of the many professions in the game, and there's a lot to choose from, seriously you can even even be a death row inmate or even an otaku.

Why make a story about it?

The best part about CDDA is that every game you play is unique, no game starts the exact same way, and if your character dies in the game he/she is dead forever, so you have to make a new character everytime you die, bummer right? No the main point of the game is to survive! So proper decision making is key go survival. Some might say that isn't it easy? Just run away from the city, escape into the wild, hide in some corner of the world. But it isn't that easy at all, you have a lot of things to consider like food and water, you can't just eat anything and you can't just drink anywhere! Then just get Over powered gear like any RPG game and kill all the zombies you encounter, but you have stamina, being exhausted in the middle of a zombie horde won't do you good and most importantly zombies Don't stay weak, they evolve into stronger zombies overtime, most notably zombie hulks that are strong enough to punch you through a wall won't be stop by how op your gear is, getting op gear also takes time and that time will allow zombies to evolve.

Some might be questioning how can you survive then? Well you learn overtime, this game has a lot of content in it, you can build a car, forge armor, making guns is impossible but you will find lots of places that have them, of course with zombies included, you'll learn how to craft electronics to make tools to help you survive. There's also martial arts in the game to help you increase your chances of winning fight against zombies. You can also leave civilization and start living a life of a farmer, build a farm, plant crops and wait for them to grow to harvest them. Or you can learn welding and turn a regular car or van into a death machine that you can use to travel and scavenge for supplies.

All in all the game has a lot of things and every encounter is interesting in their own ways like my latest run I was a student who tried to evacuate but was forced to go inside an apartment tower. I eventually tried to run but was quickly surrounded by the undead. I ran towards a nearby houses drain pipes, although I was wounded by the undead I managed to climb up onto the roof of the house. From there I thought of different ways to escape and I eventually decided to scream loudly on one side of the house to attract the zombies there and then climb down from the other side, that plan eventually failed as there were still a lot of undead nearby, luckily there's a car nearby so I ran towards it, lucky enough it works, although it's almost out of fuel it was enough for me to run over one zombie and drive my way out of there. Comment if you wanna know what happened next, but that should already tell you that this game has a lot of stories to tell, I encourage others to try it and although the game doesn't have great graphics, I can 100% say that it has more content than most games today.
