The tutorial is currently horribly buggy and unplayable in 0.2.0q, and will be removed in 0.2.0r.

'Til Death Us Do Part is a story included by default in Project Zomboid's Story Mode. It includes a tutorial to introduce new players to the basic concepts of Project Zomboid.

Characters

Bob Smith

The player's character. He is a white, middle-aged male whom probably lived with his wife in the Knox Country area before the zombie outbreak. Through their troubles he shows a commitment to keeping his wife and himself safe from the dangers of the zombie-ridden world. He doesn't seem to have any special skills as of the moment.

Kate Smith

Bob Smith's wife. At the beginning of the story, she is lying injured in bed, her leg broken from an earlier encounter with looters. She is calm, yet concerned with Bob's safety throughout the story. After completing the tutorial, her leg will slowly regenerate (from severe bleeding to bleeding, then to not bleeding), but her leg will stay broken. To further help her, you can use a belt to stem her bleeding legs.

The Raider

The raider is a cruel yet well-prepared man who has nowhere to live. After hearing sounds of the radio from Bob's house, he decides to take it over because he has nowhere to live. He will threaten Bob with a shotgun (remember, Bob's weapon is a hammer), and he will force Bob to reveal Kate's location. If he doesn't see Bob, he will search the rooms for Bob (excluding the second floor bathroom), and if he doesn't find Bob in his search, he will go upstairs and talk to Kate instead. After seeing Kate, he will kill her if Bob doesn't interfere, because he believes that Kate is bitten. If Bob tries to fight him without sneaking on him, he will kill Bob (he has the weapon advantage). Once killed, Bob will take his valuable possessions (a shotgun and a baseball bat, some shells, a vest, and a lighter). Strangely, his name is randomly generated.

Kitchen Zombie

A single zombie in the house with the food. He will be hiding in the kitchen, and he will startle the player, causing the panic moodle to appear on the player. Fortunately, he does no damage (because his purpose is for the player to learn combat, not a challenging opponent), so killing him will be fairly easy, which can be done with either a hammer or a plank.

The aggressive man

After completing the tutorial, you can find a survivor in the supermarket. He is armed with a shotgun, and will warn Bob to leave the supermarket. If Bob doesn't leave, he will shoot Bob, but if Bob kills him while he is warning him, Bob will be able to steal his belongings. He has a shotgun, some shells, a baseball bat, a lighter, and some other supplies. He too has a randomly generated name. He is exclusive in "Till Death Us Do Part", in Sandbox mode, he doesn't appear.

Locations

Starting House

In "Till Death Us Do Part", the starting house is the house where Bob and Kate is spawned. The house has 13 windows, 8 rooms, 2 floors, 2 entrances, 2 beds, 1 oven, 1 fridge, and a dozen containers. This house is almost devoid of supplies, with most containers empty except for the closets, a medicine cabinet, and one of the kitchen counters. In the closet, there is a pillow and some sheets. In the medicine cabinet, there is a bottle of pain killers. In the kitchen counter, there is a can opener and a pot. In this house, you will learn the very basics (crafting, moving, gathering items, first aid, cooking). Later, a raider will come into the house. Even after the tutorial, this house is a good base because it is in the corner of the map (zombies attack in only 2 directions rather than the usual 4).

Small Generic House

In this house, there is no bedroom, one bathroom, one living room, and one kitchen. It has 1 entrance, 4 rooms, 1 floor, 7 windows, 1 fridge, and 1 oven. The bathroom and the living room are devoid of supplies. However, the kitchen has 3 cans of soup and a couple of fruits. In the kitchen, there is a hiding kitchen zombie, whom Bob will fight in the tutorial to learn combat.

The shed

The shed is a small structure Bob goes into to get some fortification supplies. There is 1 door and 1 room, with 1 container, nothing else is in the shed. In the shed, there is a hammer, 10 planks of wood, and 15 nails. After completing the tutorial, it is possible to turn the shed into your base, although it isn't a very good choice. This can be done by dragging a couch in the shed (for sleep), and by making crates or dragging wheelie bins for extra containers (to store). It is directly northwest of the starting house

The streets

Before the tutorial is complete, zombie numbers should be around 0-5 (around the house), and an encounter should be pretty rare. After completion, zombies will spawn in greater numbers because the player has enough supplies and weapons to fend them off.

Tutorial

The mission begins with the Bob Smith and Kate smith at home, Kate is badly wounded for reasons unknown. (It can be assumed she was harmed during a break-in) Bob tells her she'll be okay. First, go to the wardrobe to the right, inside is a pillow and a sheet. Do not use the pillow on Kate, Bob will use it to "Suffocate" her. Place the sheet into your crafting area to obtain bandages. Use them on Kate (it will bandage her leg), then move into the bathroom and retrieve a bottle of pain pills. Bob now decide to barricade the house, head out to the shack in the yard and retrieve planks, a hammer and nails. If you use them as how the tutorial tells you, you should be able to barricade all of the first floor windows and a few second floor windows (assuming you put only 1 layer). Once you are finished barricading, and you return upstairs to the bed Kate is in, she will tell you that it's too dangerous to go outside and asks you to go to bed.

The next morning, Kate mentions needing food, and suggests the house directly next to you. She tells you to simply "Run" If you see one of them. The player runs to the house next door, and battles the kitchen zombie with a plank or a hammer. After defeating the kitchen zombie, he will get 3 cans of soup and a couple of fruits.

After returning home, Bob tells Kate that he found soup, and Kate asks if he can cook it by himself. First craft the can of soup into a pan of soup (canned soup, can opener and pot (last two in kitchen storage). Put the soup in the oven, and let the soup cook and turn it off when its done. Make sure you turn off the oven after cooking or there will be a fire.

After some time Kate calls you to listen to a radio transmission, after the transmission an armed human NPC will enter your house (removing any barricades on doors instantly if needed). There are many ways he will respond (depending on whether he sees you or Kate first) The best way to handle him is to wait in one of the downstairs rooms until you see the planks breaking off your front door (you see this without actual sight of the door), wait 10 seconds, until he talks to Kate, and sneak up on him and kill him.

He has many valuable possessions such as a shotgun and a baseball bat. What you do next is your choice, but after you kill him, the zombie numbers outside will increase, and eventually, you will have to gather food (the soup you got will only last 2 or 3 days).
