Short description · 170 / 300Play as a community of survivors, build up your settlements with friends, and destroy zombies in State of Decay 3, the latest in the franchise from developer Undead Labs.
First sentence never names the genre. It opens: "Play as a community of survivors, build up your settlements with friends, and destroy zomb…"
Sequel is never mentioned. The game name signals a sequel but the short description doesn't say so.
A rewritten draft built from your own words is in the full report.
