Unturned

A low poly survival sandbox that treats architecture as endgame, Unturned blends relaxed crafting with tense zombie defense. Developed by Smartly Dressed Games and Nelson Sexton and first released on July 7, 2014, this indie mix of survival, casual, adventure, action, and horror focuses on gathering, designing, and fortifying. Its modular building lets players construct layered bases, design chokepoints, and craft traps, while ranged combat supplies the shooter bite. On PC, Windows, and Mac, the game scales from solo tinkering to hosted multiplayer where detailed compounds become social hubs. The low friction loop rewards planning, resource optimization, and creative expression, echoing the appeal of post apocalyptic games and indie games alike. Steam Workshop support and custom maps broaden Unturned base building with community blueprints and top survival base layouts.
