About Unturned
Unturned places you in a zombie‑infested world where survival hinges on scavenging supplies, hunting food, and constructing shelter. The game supports both single‑player and multiplayer, letting you explore massive levels by air, land, or sea while encountering hidden NPCs that can help or trade.
Base building is essential before venturing out for airdrops, scouting dead zones, or confronting hordes of undead. Multiplayer offers cooperative play and PvP raids, and the free‑to‑play model limits purchases to cosmetic items that do not affect gameplay.
