Welcome back to Zafehouse Diaries 2! After a brief hiatus we're back with more insights into the upcoming sequel. This time around we take a look at the new scenarios you'll have to tackle.



The original Zafehouse came with three scenarios: No Survivors, Roadkill and Deadline (in order of increasing difficulty).

For Zafehouse Diaries 2, we're adding several new challenges, as well as comprehensive options to tweak each game to match your preferred style of play.



Fresh meat
Zafehouse Diaries 2 comes with a number of unique scenarios, each with their own objectives, enemies and even orders.

For example, one might require you to patch up the power grid before making your stand, while another will task you with gathering the right assortment of survivors... who might not exactly get along.

Whatever your goal, you'll have a variety of approaches available to you. Will hit-and-run breaches be the most efficient, or should you defend your safehouse while steadily gathering supplies?



Old favourites
Seasoned Zafehouse players will recognise a few of the sequel's scenarios, including Roadkill and Deadline. While these modes follow the narratives of the first game, they pack enough changes and new twists to keep even the best undead survivalist busy.

Once you start tailoring things with custom content and under-the-hood options (see below), you'll find these classic scenarios unfolding in suprising ways that simply weren't possible in the original.



Play your way
Zafehouse Diaries has always been a challenging game and while it's great to pit yourself against each scenario at its intended difficulty level, we know how useful and fun it can be to go behind the scenes and tweak things to better suit your playstyle.

So, once you've selected a scenario, you'll have the option to change loads of individual settings, including zombie combat strength, the impact of hunger and fatigue and supply quantities. You can even disable prejudices entirely.

This screen will also allow you to select a group containing up to five custom survivors. How do you create custom survivors? That's a story for next time... and they're just the tip of the iceberg.
