I love a good cozy game, and I love a good zombie game, but I'm not sure I've ever played a hybrid of the two. There's something inherently stressful about being surrounded by hordes of undead intent on eating your brains, but new "cozy post-apocalyptic survival game" aims to make that experience much more relaxing.
From two-person indie studio Cosmic Tofu, In the Van is marketed toward people who "play Project Zomboid like it's Stardew Valley," or in other words, people who cast zombies aside as an irksome afterthought while they hang out in their cabins, cook food, and harvest crops. So, why not just play Project Zomboid? Well, the answer's right there in the title. In the Van gives you a mobile cabin to turn into your personal chill space and protect yourself from the perils of the outside, post-apocalyptic world.
