Você está na Louisiana, e suas chances de sobreviver começam com a construção de um acampamento seguro, e com o desenvolvimento de habilidades de sobrevivência.  Encontre água, comida e abrigo, e fale com os excêntricos habitantes do local para conseguir sobreviver.

Um excêntrico forasteiro mascarado ofereceu ajuda? Claro, parece muito melhor que zumbis!
