Lots of people tell me I shouldn't say Candlejack b-

Get Unturned on Steam!: http://store.steampowered.com/app/304930/

Unturned is a free-to-play, zombie-themed survival horror game developed by Nelson Sexton, the owner and founder of Smartly Dressed Games and currently the sole developer. As of 1 August 2014, Unturned has remained in the top ten most played games on Steam.

The game starts by dropping the player off on a map of their choice; Prince Edward Island or an Arena map (there will be more maps added later on) with little to nothing in their possession. Players must find weapons to survive against zombies as well as find supplies to keep from dying of either starvation, thirst, or disease. The game has three difficulty levels, with an additional being a premium add-on. In the first difficulty level, Easy, the players start off with three items and loot spawns are 50% greater than the game's next difficulty setting, Normal. On this setting, there are standard spawns and nothing added or subtracted. The third game mode, Hardcore has a variety of changes, where some of the GUI (Graphical User Interface) is removed, and various things are made harder. The last game mode, only available to those who purchased the 5 dollar upgrade, is the Gold mode. In Gold mode, the standard loot drop rate is increased, experience gain is doubled, and special cosmetic options for the character and interface are unlocked. As the player progresses through the game, they gain experience points from killing zombies or gathering resources which can then be used for skills. These skills can affect simple things, such as doing more damage with either a melee weapon or ranged weapon, to increasing vitality or lowering the rate at which the player dehydrates or starves.

Unturned also includes a multi-player game-mode. Server owners may modify the server settings, some of which are shared with single-player, while other settings are exclusive to the game-mode. These include: enabling or disabling PvP (Player versus Player combat,) allowing players to sync their character data between servers and setting a maximum capacity for players.

On July 17, PC Gamer published a review of the game saying that while "Unturned has few real ideas on its own" it is a simple, accessible survival simulator that one may enjoy provided they can "stomach the low production values"; however, the author adds that with Nelson constantly updating the game, it is expected that many more features may be added.

Unturned was developed by Nelson Sexton, a seventeen-year old from Canada.

Unturned was originally listed under Steam Greenlight as Unturned 2 and was rated #3 of all Greenlight games. The first attempt to get greenlit failed; however, it was later successfully greenlit and is now available on Steam.

The game is continually being updated to add more features and mechanics, as well as fixing current ones that do not function as intended.

The game's map is based on Prince Edward Island or PEI for short; however, it is planned to be replaced by a map that is 16x larger, rendering the "PEI" map incompatible.
