What is Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead?
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead is a open-source turn-based survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world. It is often described as a “zombie game”, but there is much more to it than just zombies.
The game is procedurally generated, which means that each playthrough is unique, and it features RPG-like skill progression system and is often considered as an epitome of a modern roguelike.
It’s notable for its high level of difficulty and its emphasis on realism, and you must manage attributes like hunger, thirst, and fatigue, as well as deal with injuries and illnesses.

Did you see the new people yet? (panicked/petrified person etc.)
We can also finally see across Z-levels without peeking
Not yet! I did see the panicked people on a Vormithrax play through though, really cool addition tbh.
I didn't know about the new Z-level update, how does that work? I usually just peek downstairs using the X button together with < or >.
You can see the ground from above, like normal but with fog. Goes pretty high up too
Oh sweet!
