Hunger and thirst
Meters that drain while you wait.
Hunger & Thirst adds two meters that fall every turn. Eating or drinking fills them again, and if either runs low the storyteller starts describing the weakness and the dizziness.

The short answer
What’s the best AI for zombie apocalypse roleplay?
LoreWeaver suits zombie survival because the genre depends on scarcity and on people remembering what you did. Its storyteller plays the dead and the survivors in full scenes, and the Loom can put the pressure on screen with hunger and thirst that fall over time and an ammo count that clicks empty. Clock & Weather makes the nights more dangerous. Memories keep every deal and betrayal for the whole story, so the group you abandoned early on is still angry much later.

Zombie apocalypse on LoreWeaver
How the story keeps its shape.
See how memory and lore workAmmo
Count every shot.
The Ammo Counter drops one round each time you fire and clicks empty if you lose track, usually at the worst moment. Reloading fills it again, and spare magazines can sit in your inventory with a count.
Night
Nights worth planning around.
Clock & Weather moves the time forward every turn and picks the weather each morning. At night, now and then, something moves in the dark nearby, and the storyteller lets you hear it before you see it.
Stealth
Quiet, or found.
Stealth & Alarms counts warning signs: making noise, carrying a light, and being seen. One is a close call, and two at once raise the alarm. Its wording is written for guards, so change it to the dead and play a silent supply run.
Memory
Survivors with long memories.
Every few replies the storyteller saves what happened and who was there. The man you left outside the gate and the medicine you promised and never brought come back whenever those people are in the scene.
Your outbreak
Rules for your dead.
Decide how the outbreak spreads and whether a bite can be treated, and write it on a pinned lore card. The storyteller sees that card in every reply, so the rules hold. Or describe the whole setup in one sentence and let the world builder write it.

FAQ
Zombie apocalypse roleplay questions, answered.
01Can I track supplies like food and ammo?
Yes, with Loom templates. Hunger & Thirst adds two meters that drain each turn, and the Ammo Counter counts your rounds. Anything else, from canned food to fuel, can sit in the inventory with a count, and all of it shows beside the story.
02Are there zombie worlds I can play right now?
Yes. After the Dead Lay Down opens thirteen months after the dead stopped walking, with six hundred survivors behind a wall of school buses and a trial in the gym. The Hub has community outbreaks too, and each plays free for 20 replies.
03Will other survivors remember what I did?
Yes. Memories record who did what to whom and when, and they come back when those people are in the scene. Give each group a faction card with its territory and terms, and a broken trade follows you down the road.
04How scary can it get?
As scary as your world calls for. Set the tone in the world’s settings, and add Dread Escalation for fear that builds every turn until something finally shows itself. Accounts are for adults, and mature themes are allowed within the published limits.
05Can I play zombie survival for free?
