Chased - A Project Zomboid Horror Story

[@polywomple]

This is why I think project zomboid is right on the cusp of being an incredible RPG game. There are so many opportunities for user generated stories like this. Almost limitless content.

[@Werlias]

Yes! I totally agree with you. There are many stories that can be done in Project Zomboid, even some that don't involve zombies at all. And with the help of mods, even more so.

[@blockhead4791]

Been wanting to see a WW1/WW2 scenario made in Zomboid. I think it would just be one of the myriad of cool things you could do with this game.

[@ADcommenter]

Horror movies, romcoms, blockbusters, and most importantly zombie films... It's all possible.

[@agentkeyss]

once the npcs are finally added, we'll be able to experience stories like this in the game. it's exciting

[@SirDankleberry]

Hopefully when they introduce NPCs into the game the modding community could create scenarios like this.

[@festivesnow]

Really nice that you recreated that farm from the walking dead game. I knew instantly as soon as I seen the cannibal room and then the house on the hill. Nice work as always

[@Werlias]

Thanks man! Indeed it's the farm from TWD game. But the map was made by Ktorr2, all credits goes for him :) Here i leave the link of the mod if you want to try it: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2776272549

lmao i knew the house looked familiar

[@LoneWolf-bm9tl]

I IMMEDIATELY RECOGNISED IT

[@kompv]

this really opens my eyes to how pz can be used to help tell a story, fantastic work 10/10

[@Werlias]

For sure! project zomboid can be used to tell a lot of stories, even ones that doesn't involve zombies at all. Thanks for the comment! Glad that you enjoyed it :)

[@TheOneWhoReportsForDuty]

Project Zombie being used for a horror story that isn't related to the zombies is not what I expected and I love it.

[@SeedlingNL]

In most zombie movies, it's the living that you need to watch for...

[@Hellfire_Orange]

As soon as you walked through the door and I saw the bathroom on the left, the dining room on the right and the stairs right ahead my brain exploded. Awesome video man!

[@Werlias]

haha nice! It's almost imposible to not recognice the place at first glance. The modder did an amazing job recreating the farm. Thanks for the comment!

[@anxietysquid8900]

That was some fantastic work man. You set the mood from the very get go and you never let it slip away. Loved every second of it!

[@Werlias]

Hi man! Thanks a lot for the comment :) I was worried about the start being to slow, but it was necessary to set the mood like you said. Glad that you liked it!

[@vianneyb.8776]

I like how the editing directs our eyes towards what the MC is currently looking at. A large view would make it much harder to focus on a specific thing or on what's going on. Nice narrationless storytelling!

[@Werlias]

Nice! Thanks for noticing it, and you are correct, it would have made harder to focus on what's going on. Thanks for the comment :)

[@hunk-jd7gy]

I don't know if you were thinking about this, but I found a similarity to the scene from the game Walking Dead, in that chapter with the family of meat lovers

[@ChemistForHire]

the music is fucking incredible, thats really what makes your videos so good even with the lack of dialogue and clear communication between characters.

[@Shadowknight_GG]

This whole story gave me the chills, it's nicely done!

[@Werlias]

Thanks man! Glad to know that :)

[@Manterok]

I just found your channel today bro, and your short stories and this right here... excellent. I especially like the last few you did. That depressing hopelessness that you capture is... inspiring lol

[@Werlias]

Hi man! Thanks a lot and glad that you liked the stories. More coming up soon. Thanks and welcome.

[@Manterok]

@@Werlias can't wait!

[@Miguelnumbers]

Man, I took my time, alongside the fact that I forgot I saw that... but HERE I AM! and I still remember how I felt when I saw this for the first time 10 days ago on it's premiere. BRO! this was extremely terrifying as hell, every single moment "The Survivor" kept walking, hearing his footsteps was nerve-racking! because it indeed gave the feeling that someone was following you and watching your every movement. I'm also a fan of how you gave it all a... "Resident evil" like feeling, or that of Silent Hill, by showcasing the items alongside a small description!, gave us a clear view of how Survivor felt and what he was thinking, but that ending man... I wonder if we'll ever see a part 2? hopefully we do. Amazing work as always, Werlias!

[@Werlias]

Hi Miguel! Thank you so much for the comment. Really glad to know your reaction of the video. I was worried that the start migh have been to slow, but if was necesary to set the creepy/mysterious ambience. And for sure!, eventually there will be a part 2. I really liked the design of the "Chainsaw Man" so i'm planning to continue this story. I still have to think on how i want to developed it.

[@Galleti_13]

Al fin una historia de terror donde el protagonista no es imbécil, aunque tenga mala puntería, pero se le perdona porque ha sabido improvisar y solucionar los problemas rapidamente

[@Ktorr2]

I think i saw this map somewhere... Anyway, thanks for featuring me as a creator of the map. Keep up the good work!

[@Werlias]

hahaha thanks for the comment! And thanks for making the awesome map, you captured every detail to make you instantly remember the farm from The Walking Dead game. And also it really worked a lot to set the creepy ambience for this video. Cheers!

[@mythos951]

First horror protagonist who actually has a brain it seems lol. But seriously, this was great and looks like it took a lot of effort. I really enjoyed it.

[@Werlias]

haha, he actually runs away instead of watching the killer get close to him. Thanks for the comment! Glad to know that you enjoyed it :)

[@The_WhitePencil]

Nope, saw the dead bodies and a table full of weapons and didn't stop and think to take one just in case

[@keegan112099]

You wake up in a barn full of dead bodies and your first thought after leaving the barn is to go explore the house on the same property as all the bodies?

[@mishagaming1075]

@@keegan112099 To be fair, you could find more clues, OR useful items if we're following classic horror game logic here.

The reference to TWD tell-tale game is incredible, the house is the same!

[@Werlias]

Nice that you recognize it! It is indeed the same farm house from the TWD game. In the description i leave the link of mod made by Ktorr2 if you are interested to try it.

[@Werlias]

Thanks a lot! Will do my best :)

[@splitlinkz9559]

Feels like one of the VHS tapes your character would watch in game.

[@matsoudo5980]

It was very good, the idea is not only great but it's rather quite well realised. The ambiance and tension was really in there. I wish that the chainsaw sound effect was a bit louder and the chases were a bit more intense with true rush, but otherwise it was nicely done. The music choices and volume were good, the settling and storytelling process was perfectly what we need to not lose tracks through it (for example the scenes showing the global area/objectives/memories) and added to the ambiance. And finally the credit/post credit scenes were a nice touch.

[@Loginv]

OOOOooooh that farm! I know where it's from, I'm like 99% that's from the telltale walking dead games, the first one. I love how this was done in like a PS2 horror style game, with the black screens when going up stairs, and the change in the music for different levels of the house, really awesome job! Super creepy and well done!

[@valentinodesinano7163]

the guy: oh i just woke up in a barn room covered in blood and corpses nearby, i should go to the house next door, that's a good idea

[@aguy6504]

This map remindes me the cannibals farm from The Walking Dead(Game) 1st season

[@Werlias]

That's cause it is indeed the farm from the cannibals of TWD. The map was made by Ktorr2. Here i leave you the link of the mod: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2776272549

Thanks man! And yes, one of my ideas for future videos is to make a series like you describe, maybe each season doing a different survivor.

[@leons.kennas1533]

What a fantastic video It actually felt like another game being inside of the game itself. Really loved it

Fine details I recognized: - The rug on the entrance was completely mixed up - He actually used the fact that the gun had 6 shots - It has a fucking POST CREDITS SCENE - I felt compelled to search every container that he skipped

[@Werlias]

haha i didn't even notice the rug being messed up. i can give you another detail in case you didn't saw it. When the main character looks out the kitchen window, the chainsaw man is actually looking at him from the field. (Don't know if it is visible due to the video compression that youtube does, and even more becaus of the fog) Thanks for the comment :)

[@UberNovaful]

I loved that, that was awesome! You should create more of these type of scary videos. I know there's gonna be a "To be continued" but i'm talking overall, once you are gonna be done with this series of "Chased" do more, they are amazing. And LOVED the credit scene where it shows the guy goes to the police and all that!

[@Werlias]

That's the plan! I alredy started working on the next horror story, maybe wont be as long as this one, but if all goes right, i think it's going to be scarier. The part II of "Chased" i'm going to work on it later. Thanks for the comment, and glad that you liked the video :)

Thank you so much! Glad that you liked it :)

[@Unknown-ek1ox]

Honestly: MAGNIFICENT! 😳 This is art and doesn't just bring the game (sandbox) into a different genre; it shows what is possible in both storytelling and gameplay. Imagine this in fact, a PZ experience with actually no zombies but life in rural or urban Kentucky and THIS could basically be a possible outcome of emergent gameplay between players. Let's briefly spin this forth: "You make your escape in time and flee, make it back to civilization, tell police. A huge investigation is started. The area is searched - no sign of them. As if vanished into thin air. The remainder of your time you will never truly feel safe again, expecting to one day be caught." I know many probably don't think about this when they think of Zomboid but matter of factly with all its detailed game mechanics, the game has a lot of potential. With some more vanilla content updates and then the right custom mods, you may as well have a "PZ Life" server that simulates life and jobs and economy out there. Okay, enough nerding out about the possibilities of the game: Thanks for making this. It's something else and still fitting the horror that unfolds in Kentucky in that game.

So also Ktorr2, this person also plays on this project, and before the person with the chainsaw, he held an event for me. Ktorr2 is a very creative person.
