State of Decay is an open world zombie survival horror video game for Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade and Microsoft Windows.

The player starts out as a character named Marcus. A store clerk who is an athlete and loves to hike; he is also a born leader. Returning from a hunting trip, he finds the world has gone to hell. As the game is an open world, the story progresses based on whether the player is focused on the story or simply surviving. Progressing the story will periodically trigger world changing events which will make the world more difficult to survive in. Securing clean water will also play a large part in the story line.

Unlike games such as Left 4 Dead and Dead Island, State of Decay will focus more on survival, stealth, evasion, distractions, base building, survivor community, securing resources, and moving through the world than actual zombie combat. The game will be in an open world, where the player's choices are an important factor. Players will be able to choose a location to build a base in. Structures such as watch towers, gardens, sleeping quarters, kitchens, workshops, medical bays and barricades can be constructed to defend against the infected population, help survivors recover faster and build explosives and other tools.
