Outstanding work. You really captured the essence of a "depressed" zombie. That even though he had been infected he still felt something deep down, a purpose to go and see what happened to his loved ones, even if it meant he might be killed by them.
I think there isnt any human conciousness after u turn into one of em, just empty minded if that was what u were talkin bout. but it would be interesting to see some infected have some memories of their past life and go back to the places they always go or do things a zombie wont normally do (like opening doors, using stuff like rocks or some tools to break windows/doors faster, etc)
Man... this was truly heartbreaking. I know I haven't commented in your most recent videos for a while, and I'm sorry for it! even so, I can tell that you based this on the "Dawn of the living dead", because if I remember correctly (and in case I'm not confusing it with another movie) the zombies in that movie were able to have memories of their previous life, and did things that they once did when they were humans. It's truly sad though, this poor man left home, saying "goodbye" to his wife and daughter one last time, not knowing he would never see them again as himself. Instead, what came home was a dead corpse that even so, EVEN SO still had enough of a soul trapped that longed for the reunion and company of his loved ones... How cruel and beautiful, I know why you said this is a fate worse than death; his wife and child are dead, resting in peace, but he's not as long as his body still is able to move... and never will. Keep up the godly work, Werlias!
Yeah man, i notice your absence in the comment section, i was starting to get worried haha, good to see you back here. I didn't based this story on that film, i just wanted to make a video about the perspective of an infected, how the memories of his last day as a human remained. I didn't specify it, but the memories returned many years after he got infected, i guess to represent how at the start they act purely out of instinct, then after all things slow down they have little glimpses of memories before they got infected.

I read a book series that had a scene like this halfway through, was a bride that got zombified right before marrying. It went on to describe the sensation of being trapped behind inside your own body, seeing out but unable to control anything, how she was losing memories day-by-day, describing forgetting what her fiancee looked like, eventually what could best be described as her “soul” is lost for good. She either got killed by one of the characters, joins in the millions of others in a crowd, or [spoilers] “cured” by the chemical spray that causes zombies to continue decomposing at the end of the series. The series had some pretty cool concepts for the typical zombie apocalypse, such as the fact that zombies would naturally travel down slopes and never go up when not provoked, making places built on hills naturally safer. Or how the survivors used carpets ripped from homes to make scratch-proof armor. Or how the main survivor camp used an automated intercom system to keep zombies away from the fence.
@@supersarge24 Might be one of the Jonathan Maberry books... Maberry has zombies that do the walk downhill thing... Never read them, just heard about them...
Hits harder than most Netflix shows man...LOVE IT!!! I wish Project Zomboid could add a cinematic mode of you playing and afterwards you can spawn in as a camera and just move around...food for thought
Christ the alive and clean look of that first pre-apocalypse scene. It's so good! I've always kind of hoped that when NPCs are added to zomboid that we'd have the first day of a new world spawn be some kind of peaceful pre-zombie day. Even if it really is impractical I've never wanted it more than now after watching that. DAMN
@@bagman1984 Technically everything we can watch on the TV and hear on the radio is pre apoc stuff. It is weird tho if you go to louisivlle on day 1 while the news stations still have news being broadcast from there. At the very least the game is set up to allow for day 1 apocalypse stuff.
I'd love to see a story from a soldiers perspective. It would be a unique look into the world of zomboid in my opinion, especially considering what they had to do and go through (from obeying terrible orders to fighting hordes of the undead)
"They are after the place. They don't know why... they just remember. Remember they want to be in here. When there is no more room in hell the dead will walk the earth." Great video and work as usual! You made some fine storytelling additions this time. Interesting to see things through a zombie's eyes for once.
He looked so dapper. This was super cool, it's neat to see how each zombie has it's own story, had a life. You never really think about it. I do wonder when NPCs are added if there will be an option to start a day or two before the end of the world, to see life before the zombies came. Just would be neat
1:05 this part is so erie to me, the crows along with the old film effect, and then it goes straight into the present, showing what's left of our decaying civilization. So powerful.
Exactly. I love this aspect of the main character in the video simply being one of many in that horde. Really puts it in depth about how all those zombies you’ve killed had lives at one point, families, children. I’ve always thought about stuff like that and werlias puts that perspective out in this video. It’s one of the things I love the most about Zomboid. The game has so much realism in it sometimes it’s just astonishing.
The husband returned after all that time even in death rings the tone of how fate could be with the zombie apocalypse with where your body may wander to after turning
This is beautiful but also hilarious. The two skeletons in the same spot. It almost gives the impression that they just stood there waiting for him, not perishing from the infection or being killed, just by not attending to their needs. Like a sim.
This here is peak story-telling for the bleak and hopeless, yet fascinating and curious world of Project Zomboid. Same for your other horror stories you've made that I've binge-watched your channel, haha! Subbed for sure. Undoubtedly a massive TH-cam, you. ♡
I once had a schizophrenic character who lost his entire family so to cope he wore a rabbit suit since it was his favorite animal. But he ended up getting bitten, turned way too quickly. Now there's a depressed zombie rabbit mascot walking around with a fireaxe in his hands. But that's my favorite part about project zomboid, creating cool characters with backstories and watching them come to an end. Only to make a new character and perhaps cross paths with them!
That couple probably survived, if you notice all people that have been shown before have their own death scene except that couple who sat down and had a picnic together.
Regardless of who has control over the body, even a zombie has almost the same memories that a person had while he was alive if he sees something familiar related to them
Thanks Dane! Your mod really sets the tone for an apocalyptic world and makes it more alive with all the vegetation. I haven't tested all the new map modifications that you've done recently, but they look cool! Keep up the good work 👍
Absolutely brilliant video mate ! Zach Beever's song "What was lost", is very appropriate for this story. Hope, community, civilization and family was brutally torn out from the world of PZ
dude Im going to be honest. This is so well done. You should be working in the cinema industry with this kind of talent. From the first moment I played the game I was thinking about the fact that how wonderful short movies one can make with this game and stumbled upon your channel after a while. Man your work is so professional. Thank you for putting in so much of your time to make these awesome short movies. This one espacialy was on an epic scale.
It's not only a video or a simple story, it's the lore itself. Taking inspiration from the name of the songs to put the pieces of the lore together, and try to make sense of it. Good job 😁
You should make a project zomboid movie man. This content is top notch and I would LOVE to see (even if just a short film) a longer story about one survivor who is desperately trying to make it through his/her first month in the apocalypse.
Amazing video!! Long time pz fan and I love how faithful esque everything was, even using what was lost as the credits music (still unhappy they haven't added it back in for newer players to hear) alot of the shots taken made me go woah, as the final product looked immaculate. Most craziest one was the moving train scene, greenscreens and all. Looking forward to more videos, subbed
It just hit right in the feels, as you can see how the small remaining bits of person they once were subconsciously guide you to your home. It actually happens when people get amnesia, as their subconscious sometimes guides them to place they were once in
This gave me a whole new perspective on the game. A sort of sadness permeates my gameplay now as I move about, scavenging supplies and seeing run down buildings and zombies ambling about, entering houses with what could be couples or families still inside.
If you look closely at 1:29, there's only 2 skeletons of the 3 mechanics that were there, meaning the only one that isn't there survived and is probably out there as a survivor just like the characters we play.
I don't know what it is about your Zomboid Short Stories, but the way they are told sometimes brings me to the verge of tears (which is very hard to do.)
Thanks! Oh i forgot to add the mod to the modlist, for those scenes i used the "Useful Mirror", wich lets you see your character with more detail using the mirror item.
I'm currently doing an RP series with my friends in Zomboid, and you have easily been my biggest inspiration in how I want to display my characters in the editing phase. The mood, pacing, and general craftsmanship in these videos is the best I've seen in the entire community by far. If I can get my stuff to be even half as impactful as yours, I would be happy.
The thing that always makes me sad the most with your stories is we don't get to see what happens to each character next, like in Apart what happens to our buds after the credits roll. You do such amazing work in your story telling and I always come back looking for more.
I'm totally fascinated by the work you're doing and you have already done! This is so great! Your stories are touching, deep and good directed, keep doing this!
This is such a good little film! Heartbreaking but terrifying at the same time. I love Project Zomboid, I've been playing it for the past 2 years on/off, never gets old for me. Bravo!
Something about this reminds me some of the "Of the Dead" series of Romero films. The undead relearning and becoming human again in some way. Remembering their past lives. Some even remembering where they used to go in their past life.
It's insane when you consider how majority of the population didn't even have a chance or ability to fend for themselves. It was airborne and they were doomed from the start. No matter how prepared or unprepared you were, fate was already sealed before you known. Just makes you think on how many zombies exist out there, that you see, were not even people who gotten bit but simply breathed and turned where they stood..
Seeing Project Zomboid so alive with more human people before the apocalypse, looks so good
Literally the best roleplaying game

They were begging for an apocalypse.
Maybe after NPCs, in build 50-60 or so, we might have it like this in game
* The SIMS have entered the chat *
Me: can we get maybe a happy ending?
Werlias: best I can do is clinically depressing, take it or leave it.

Play your cards right, Project Zombid could have an entire show take place inside it.

Seeing so many people that aren't undead is kind of surreal, would make any survivor remember the good times.
I think one of your best videos if not the best it tells so much choice of music is great too
It just hit right in the feels, as you can see how the small remaining bits of person they once were subconsciously guide you to your home.
It actually happens when people get amnesia, as their subconscious sometimes guides them to place they were once in
Excelente contenido hermano. Sigue asi!
I love how he still have a mind of it's past and knows the location to home.
This gave me a whole new perspective on the game. A sort of sadness permeates my gameplay now as I move about, scavenging supplies and seeing run down buildings and zombies ambling about, entering houses with what could be couples or families still inside.
What sucks, is that the zombie went to the one place it remembers. Its own house
And then suddenly, me and my mates roll into town, blasting Bon Jovi from our mad max cars. We jump out, blow their brains out and do a victory dance
Lol
fitting that a song from the soundtrack was used for the video title
If you look closely at 1:29, there's only 2 skeletons of the 3 mechanics that were there, meaning the only one that isn't there survived and is probably out there as a survivor just like the characters we play.
I don't know what it is about your Zomboid Short Stories, but the way they are told sometimes brings me to the verge of tears (which is very hard to do.)
This is BRILLIANT! Loved every second of it.
pretty cool seeing this game pre apocalypse :)
this is my first time seeing one of your story videos and this is awesome man! i love how much is able to be done just in the game itself
Oh man, that's so good! The end made me😢 Thanks for this amazing movie!
Now this is epic, I really liked how you used "character selection mirror" to make different angles. Good Job!
Thanks!
Oh i forgot to add the mod to the modlist, for those scenes i used the "Useful Mirror", wich lets you see your character with more detail using the mirror item.
I'm currently doing an RP series with my friends in Zomboid, and you have easily been my biggest inspiration in how I want to display my characters in the editing phase. The mood, pacing, and general craftsmanship in these videos is the best I've seen in the entire community by far. If I can get my stuff to be even half as impactful as yours, I would be happy.
the fact he was a zomboid and his family was skeletons, he had survived the initial outbreak for a while until dying
The thing that always makes me sad the most with your stories is we don't get to see what happens to each character next, like in Apart what happens to our buds after the credits roll. You do such amazing work in your story telling and I always come back looking for more.
ありそうな話だし悲しいし寂しさもあるし話重いし…色んな感情がこの動画でデタァ!!
You never fail to make a compelling story using one of my favorite video games as your medium; once again impressed (as always)!
Everything has an ending, so does humanity.
I'm totally fascinated by the work you're doing and you have already done! This is so great! Your stories are touching, deep and good directed, keep doing this!
Another awesome job right here! Btw congrats for 10k subs!
Thanks!
Dude that was done soo good, and 3D style of zomboid it fitted, good vid!
Agghhh he had memories that's why he walked all the way to his house :(
Bro, This was insanely good, Should be the game trailer, Amazing work!
the biggest mistake people make when they talk about zombie apocalypses is thinking they will be one of the survivors
Project Zomboid has the perfect atmosphere for a story like this, especially with it's entire premise of "the only way out is by dying"
Печальное зрелище, показывающие всю безнадёжность этого мира.
То что ждёт наш мир если все что происходит на данный момент продолжится.
А так приятно видеть русского пользователя под этим шедевром.
This is such a good little film! Heartbreaking but terrifying at the same time. I love Project Zomboid, I've been playing it for the past 2 years on/off, never gets old for me. Bravo!
All perfection in one place, wish we could see scenarios like this one in the actual game
This is Absoluty Art!
Your channel is criminally underrated, you’re amazing!
Just found this channel...yep, I'm gonna binge watch everything this guy has ever done.
The way you can express such a heartfelt story with no words is extremely impressive. Really hope you can go somewhere with film making!
I really hope when we get NPC's there will be a pre apocalypse mod with an environment like this
Challenge: a week before the apocalypse!
Insanely good! better and better, the details the story the animation
Something about this reminds me some of the "Of the Dead" series of Romero films. The undead relearning and becoming human again in some way. Remembering their past lives. Some even remembering where they used to go in their past life.
It's insane when you consider how majority of the population didn't even have a chance or ability to fend for themselves.
It was airborne and they were doomed from the start. No matter how prepared or unprepared you were, fate was already sealed before you known.
Just makes you think on how many zombies exist out there, that you see, were not even people who gotten bit but simply breathed and turned where they stood..
Man… that was very emotional. It was so beautiful at first.. in the end it was so sad. I love your Zomboid Stories
This could be an actual ad for the game, I've played the game alot and I'm hyped to play again from this.
I got partway through the video and saw the zombies in military fatigues, so I thought to myself "damn, humanity really did get overwhelmed"
