VEINDay-by-Day Tutorial
Follow the plan in order, or jump to the day you're on. Each day lists what to collect, craft, and watch out for.
Wake Up & Get Oriented
Character setup, immediate survival needs, and getting off the street before nightfall.
Draft — pending verificationChoose Occupation, Skills & Traits
Your starting occupation and trait choices shape your early strengths — pick based on the playstyle you want (combat, scavenging, or crafting-focused).
Grab Cloth Rags on Sight
Rags are your emergency bandage material until real medical supplies show up.
Find a Backpack
Inventory space is the biggest early bottleneck — prioritize any bag upgrade you find.
Craft a Wooden Spear
A cheap melee weapon buys you distance from your first zombie encounters.
Avoid Groups of Zombies
You have no gear to fight multiple enemies yet — run, don't engage, until you have a weapon and stamina to spare.
Get Indoors Before Dark
Visibility and threat levels worsen at night — find a defensible interior space before it hits.
