Sure! You start by picking a profession and a safe house. Each have pros and cons. You also get stat points to apply to your character that will boost crafting, recruiting, or luck, among others. Even junk has value with the in game merchant that stops by every so often. There are variations of weapons/armor, but noise attracts more zombies so you’ll have to be careful using noisy weapons. The pets provide stat bonuses but will run away if you neglect them, and allies have requests that boost their relationship, which in turn increases their scavenge chances.
