I made a full narrative 10 episode series in a survival game, here’s how it turned out.

New here and already loving it :)

I’m a husband and father in my 40s living a pretty normal life, but I’ve always held onto this small passion for creating. Writing, filming, editing, even a bit of acting through roleplay. It’s always been something that made me feel alive, even during the busiest parts of life.

For years, I had this idea in the back of my mind to create a fully scripted series using the DayZ video game. I kept putting it off, like we all do with things we care about, but eventually I decided to just go for it.

What came out of that is a zombie apocalypse series brought to life by over 35 amazing actors and roleplayers. From a simple idea at work to writing, casting, filming, editing, and finally releasing, it took about 11 months to complete.

This project means a lot to me. Nobody was paid, and I chose to demonetize the channel so there are no ads. It was never about money, just about creating something meaningful and sharing it with others.

I know it’s not perfect or Hollywood-level, but it was made with a lot of heart. Every scene, every line, every moment has something real behind it.

If you take the time to watch it, I truly hope you feel even a small part of that.

--------------------

AS OF WRITING THIS: Only 6 of the 10 episodes are released (I am currently releasing 1 episode per day since April 10) The finale will air April 19, 2026.

Season synopsis: The world didn’t just end, it was reset. Now, the man blamed for it, Mike Walker, must outrun the monsters it created, the survivors it broke, and the truth that could destroy what’s left of humanity. In a world where trust is fragile and survival comes at a cost, he may be the only one who can change what remains. Every step forward pulls him closer to a past that refuses to stay buried.
