Pretty cool idea by using open street maps you can download the location you want and play the game there, defend your neighborhood or loot your house.

The reviews seem decent but mention it needs a lot of tweaking as it just released on early access, like water not affecting where zombies can walk or elevation not being a thing.

Maybe this can get some more people interested in mapping

If you're looking for other games based on real maps, 911 Operator is one that I recommend. I'm not sure exactly which map source they use, though.

EDIT: LOL. I see it's the same developer for both games.

@Showroom7561 @variants it is OSM. Also see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Games
