3 years after a virus ravaged the world. The Elorian Federation has collapsed. Infecteds have been roaming the empty streets and fields, day and night. Despite of the scarcity of resources, you must fight your way to survive. Learn more about the world you're living in and seek for safety on the ruins of the post-apocalyptic nation.

and you, must emerge, from the Darker Days.

Note:

This is an unfinished project that I singlehandedly created and has been in progress for several years already. No zombies are spawned on the map, and there is no loot in the fully furnished houses. It is now only made entirely for exploration purposes. The map itself is loosely inspired from DayZ so you might see some familiar buildings and a prevalent European themed architecture.

From the time of its inception, my ideas, interests, and passion for creating lore for a post-apocalyptic world have been incorporated here to make the ideal zombie apocalypse map that I envisioned for myself.

I've curatedly made each town be as unique as possible in order to create a longing lust for exploration for each and every one of you.

I originally started this project to be played only with my friends during my high school years. But unfortunately, over time, I lost the interest to continue and fulfill this project now that I am currently in college.

I admit that, due to my ambitions for this map to make it as large as possible, I never got to finish it the way I wanted to. Nevertheless, I still managed to make the map large enough to make exploration interesting.

Now that I have also lost my passion for playing Minecraft, it seems I won't be touching it in the foreseeable future, so there will be no more updates for this map. But still, it would be a shame if nobody ever got to try to play on this map, so I just decided to share it with you guys.

I hope that you find it as fun as I've had creating it :)
I suggest you explore it on foot or by horseback for a better experience. Do whatever you want with it, it's now all yours.

To anyone who might be interested, here's the game lore i made for the map.

Background Information:

During the 1970's, tensions between the two superpower nations have risen. The Elorian Federation and Republic of Khuvria were on a geopolitical contest to project supremacy on the world.

The Republic of Khuvria have been constantly innovating their weapons through the funds exploited on their puppet nations, making them wealthy enough to research advancements on weapons.

The Elorian Federation, who are known for their competitiveness, will not let the Republic of Khuvrian be hailed as the technological superior nation in the world. To keep up with them, It's government decided to study and research a classified biological weapon program that is intended to be used in case of war.

"Classified Superweapon" ( May 16, 1976 )

The biological weapon program that is known as "CZ Program" were conducted on BioTech Laboratory Institute situated on a mountain. It may also take some years before they will be successful in creating a bio weapon.
The program was government funded and any information about this aren't disclosed to the public as creating a biological weapon is inhumane and strictly prohibited on international laws.

"Patient Zero" ( July 28, 1976 )

A scientist were reported missing by his team who have also participated in the CZ Program. The said scientist was last seen outside of the facility, vomiting. No one knows of his whereabouts. A week after, 5 scientists of the facility became ill, the management of the facility decided to temporarily halt the program due to these reasons and to also investigate the problem.

"BioTech Chaos" ( August 5, 1976 )

A report from the facility told the local authorities that they need medical backup. 24 personnels suddenly became ill inside the facility and medical services inside were limited. The patients were then sent to the local hospital in the area to observe and to evaluate their illness so that, they can be treated.

The local doctors are unaware and didn't have any idea of what illness suddenly struck these scientists, so they sent some specialists to investigate those cases. Later on, it was revealed that it was because of an unknown contagious virus that the medical community have never seen nor have studied. An emergency lockdown of the hospital has been immediately executed.

"The First Outbreak" ( August 6, 1976 )

An outbreak has been declared due to the high record spikes of patients surging the hospitals with the same illness. The media and the government have covered up the happenings and not even a single word has been told to people as they were confident that the situation is under control and it is not harmful to anyone.

"The Explosion" ( August 10, 1976 )

Riots have erupted in the town because of lack of proper medical services and increasing cases of the virus. The patients that has severe symptoms and cannot be treated are sent into mass graves alive and were set to fire along with those who died. Thousands of people have already been confirmed that have contracted the virus.
Several set-up field hospitals were created to help easen the situation on the over capacity of hospitals on several towns.

The majority of the citizens of Elorian Federation is unaware of what is happening due to no publicity of the situation. In result, those unaware people who has the virus, carries them to other countries, oblivious of it's catastrophic repercussions on their country of destination.
More and more transmissions of the virus has been reported locally and worldwide.

The virus has reached The Republic of Khuvrian, scientists and doctors works together to analyze it and also to know its origins.

"Nationwide Panic" ( August 14, 1976 )

Genetic mutations have been observed on the virus by the Elorian scientists which leads to pathological aggression and anti-social behavior of the patient. It causes the patient to attack anyone on sight through biting, infecting the victim with the virus.

This symptom created numerous infecteds overnight which wreaked havoc among the towns and cities in the country. Chaos ensued throughout the day as mass evacuation happens. The Elorian Federation has perceived that the scope of the virus is already out of control so they decided to finally address the issue of the multiple outbreaks happening all over the country on the media ( August 16, 1976 ) but they did not admit that the virus was made by the government. All types of transits has been suspended along with restriction of crossing the border.

"Worldwide Publicity" ( August 17, 1976 )
The scientists of the Republic of Khuvrian has traced the origins of the virus on the Elorian Federation. It was also identified that the virus that is reported around the world is genetically-engineered, meaning it was intentionally created and modified by scientists in a laboratory.

The Republic of Khuvrian and the International community condemned Elorian Federation for creating the virus. The Khuvrian intel found out that the first case of the outbreak in Elorian have been reported earlier that week already but they didn't address the issue and didn't take them seriously.
Elorian Federation was also blamed by foreign nations that has reported the same virus for failing to contain the disease and lack of early precautionary measures.

The National Army of Elorian Federation started "Operation Red Salvation" wherein they sent army forces to several towns and cities with an order of the protocol "shoot on sight" on suspected hosts of the virus due to the worsening situation of the country despite of violation on human rights.

The government announced in the media "Our dear citizens, please stay indoors at all cost and wait for the rescue team, help is underway"

The Elorian government issues a National Emergency and their national air force began executing air strikes in several towns and cities.

"The Fall of Lidderdale" ( August 19, 1976 )

2 days after, Lidderdale - Elorian's capital city, has been swarmed by thousands of infected. from then on, hundred thousands of people became infected overnight.
The army wanted to do a last ditch effort to liberate the capital in "Operation Twilight". They sent battalions from the Army division to eradicate the infecteds and save the remaining survivors. An offensive that are meant to be done in order to improve the nation's morale, has turned sideways.

The offensive was rendered a catastrophic failure as the army was overwhelmed by thousands of infected swarming them, losing an incredible amount of hope to save the rest of the nation.

With the fall of the capital, the whole country went into anarchy, more and more people died and succumbed in crowded cities full of infected. The seat of government evacuated together with military officials and personnel in an undisclosed location to flee for safety.

The surviving civilians in some towns of the country have barricaded every road, and military checkpoints were made to wait patiently for the rescue.

Little did they know, it's a false sense of security...
Panic spreads worldwide as authorities in Elorian Federation has failed to protect it's citizens from the virus.

The Republic of Khuvria and several wealthy nations have been leading a global cure effort and prioritizes healthcare at all costs.

"The World Falls Apart" ( August 28, 1976 )

Not only the Elorian Federation have suffered severely, the Republic of Khuvrian also were currently being swarmed by millions of infected. Along with them, poor nations has already collapsed and millions of people were looking for refuge in the dire situation that humanity has faced.
Large cities have been overwhelmed in a matter of hours and waves of infecteds are making their way into nearby towns. Rural areas have been the ideal location of some safe zones due to low population density, in which probability of getting infected would be much lower but it is only a matter of time before hordes of infecteds swarm the ill-prepared areas.

Multiple refugee camps were set up as thousands of people were fleeing to their neighboring country. Some nations have banned and closed their borders to prevent the virus from spreading further.

"The Aftermath" ( September 20, 1976 )

Communications all over the country was lost and no news around the world has reached the nation. The National Media of the Elorian Federation has been down for weeks already, not even a single word was heard from the government and no shadows of them can be seen.
Fires have been ravaging the empty towns for weeks already, black smokes has been covering the gloomy skies. The stench of the rotten flesh fills the air, together with the buzzing sound of flies around the decaying bodies lying on the ground.

Fires, smokes, destruction, are just some of the things that you would have in sight. screams and gunshots can be heard occasionally as people fight for their own lives.

"I have just seen how the great nation crumbles, right before my eyes"

"The New World" ( August 6, 1979 )

It's been 3 years, after the first outbreak of the virus has been reported that doomed the humankind. The once bustling cities, has turned into quiet ghost towns. Vines and plants have overgrown the deteriorating buildings, creeping from the broken surfaces. Only growls of the infecteds can be heard echoing in the dark and empty streets.

"The world i once knew, is already gone"

Water and food is scarce, i have not yet even eaten today, I haven't seen anyone alive for years now, in exception of those walking corpses. The rescue operations that promised us safety turn out to be lies, they only saved themselves.

And here i am, all alone, by myself.
I heard rumors of safe haven on the outskirts of the town, far from infected crowded cities. I must get there, i can't stay here for too long. But... is that even true, i don't know...
But for now, i must get out of here alive...
