ZAR

About

ZAR drops you in the middle of a zombie outbreak in a frozen Russian town. You scavenge for supplies, fight hordes of the undead, and navigate crumbling buildings in first-person. The focus is on survival, manage limited ammo, avoid detection, and use the environment to stay alive. The cold setting adds tension as resources are scarce and every decision matters. Released in 2021, ZAR runs on PC and sticks to a single-player format. The game leans into tense stealth moments and chaotic shootouts, with a small but dedicated community discussing strategies online. While not graphically high-end, the atmospheric sound design and gritty setting give it a distinct feel. Players note the challenge of balancing risk and reward when searching for better gear in dangerous zones.
