Stranded on an island, surrounded by all manner of unsightly creatures, think you can stay alive long enough to escape? How to Survive drops you in the all-too-familiar zombie apocalypse setting, hands you a few weapons and items and is all like "ok, don't die". The third person action adventure game mixes RPG, simulation and survival elements into a singular experience that's all about keeping your head on your shoulders. Both literally and figuratively. Seek food, water and shelter, combine items to make handmade tools and weapons, then get out there and smash some zombies so you can live long enough to watch the next episode of Walking Dead.

You're stranded on an island and surrounded by unholy horrors. Can you stay alive long enough to escape? Not likely, but at least you're armed with your brain (a very hot item around here), and a How To Survive guide written by an eccentric stranger.

The new trailer details some of the unique features, and we can’t wait to sink our teeth into the title.
How to Survive is an interesting little downloadable game. A true survival horror title, players will not only battle the zombie scourge, they'll also have to contend with hunger, thirst, and sleep deprivation. Players will find themselves stranded on an island with little more than the restless dead and the remnants of a survival book for company. Luckily the game supports two player local or online co-op, so you can share in the apocalyptic misery with a friend.

The zombie game genre has been dead since, well, it's inception. That's kind of it's thing. But people have been complaining about stale zombie games for years. If it's one thing people like to do, it's complain. Normally I'm right there with them. But, every time I think I'm done with the shambling masses I find another reason to grab some ammo, gas up a chainsaw, or duct tape a flashlight to a crowbar. It really depends on how well the game is done, but I don't think I'll ever get sick of playing through a zombie games.
