Me seeing the starting screen "These are the end-times... There was no hope of survival... This is how you died." For Project Zomboid the first time. The one and only Zombie-Survival-Game that absolutely hit the nail on the head in relation to an atmosphere of despair and gritty survival.

I'm surprised that game is over ten years old already. I've always thought it looked really cool but I've never been able to bring myself to spend the money on it. Maybe I'll catch a good sale someday. Patientgamer syndrome here

There's Survival Crisis Z, it's free but old. https://ska-studios.com/2007/09/07/just-a-friendly-reminder/

I think it would be been more popular today, with it's atmosphere and horror.
