A week has passed since the outbreak.

The last couple of days reports coming from the Emergency Broadcast System described a quarantine zone: a 150 mile radius circle centered on Dead Valley.

Centered on your farmhouse.

The National Guard is urging any survivors to head for the perimeter.

You've been holed up for a week and getting sick of eating beans. The walkers are getting closer ever day. If they figure out you're here the barrier you've slapped together will not hold.

Time to make a break for it. Drive 150 miles to escape from the valley!

You have three days before they cover the entire valley in napalm.

Cars:

Cars need fuel to run!
A car takes damage by running into things (even Zombies), driving over rough ground (anything except a road), getting shot, or beat up by a melee weapon.
When the car is in bad shape the engine will start to smoke, when it's in really bad shape the Check Engine light will flash. If the car takes much more damage it will explode.
Exploding cars do damage to nearby objects, Zombies, and you!
Damage to cars can knock out their head and taillights if the damage is close to one of those areas, so be careful when driving at night.

Fueling:

To activate a gas pump walk into it. If it's not broken and has gas your cursor should change into a pump nozzle. Click and hold on a nearby car to fill it (has to be near the pump). Also click and hold on a Gas Can to fill it.
To use the gas can right click on it when you're touching the car you want to fill. The cursor will change to a mini gas can. Click on hold on the car to fill it.
To use the siphon (rubber tubing) right click on it while touching the car you want to remove gas from. The cursor should turn into a mini rubber tubing. Click and hold on another nearby car or a Gas Can in your inventory to fill it.

Zombies can force you out of a building or car by hitting it enough times (the more Zombies the faster you're forced out!).
Zombies are attracted to noise.
