A broken world, tense player encounters, and a desperate struggle for resources defined the early survival shooter experience. Infestation: The New Beginning forced players to scavenge for supplies, fortify safe zones, and contend with the ever-present threat of both zombies and other survivors. The game's open-world PvP, combined with its permadeath mechanic, created a unique sense of vulnerability, where every decision had lasting consequences and every meeting could be your last.
