Romeros Aftermath
Romero's Aftermath (also called Aftermath) was a free-to-play, open-world zombie survival MMO from Free Reign Entertainment, created in collaboration with horror director Cameron Romero. Set across deserts, forests, and towns overrun by a zombie plague, players scavenged for supplies and crafting materials, built and defended fortified shelters, farmed and cooked for survival, and could liberate zombie-infested cities in cooperative PvE events or fight other players in open PvP. The 'Free to Win' model kept purchases limited to cosmetics and convenience items. The game officially shut down on November 22, 2016.
