When the weather outside is frightful...

Stay inside and play on your scavenged arcade machines!

Enjoy decreased boredom, unhappiness, and stress by playing one of the three existing arcade machines, now available for play. No quarters required! (Electricity required)

Warning: These games make noises that nearby zombies can hear!

Now with controller (and multiplayer co-op) support!

If you are interested in helping translate the three commands, please let me know!

Additional details: - Custom Animiations by AuthenticPeach! Available automatically in build 41.53+, available in build 41.50 by following manual instructions - Compatible with existing saves - Players will walk to the front of the machine to play - Each machine has unique game sounds - The amount of boredom, unhappiness, and stress reduced is small per time played, so you'll need to play a few times to see much of a difference - Stop in the middle of playing, and you still get a partial reduction in boredom/unhappiness/stress - Money is not required. It may be implemented later if money becomes as common in the game, or if a modder develops a good money-ONLY mod (with distributions to make money common) - Must select the front half of the PAWS Pinball Machine to play - Note: PZ doesn't allow the pinball machine to be rotate to face north or west

TODO: - More Translations - Check the volume of the arcade machine files. Or, create a volume control. - Allow users to select the back of the pinball machine to bring up menu option to play (without crashing)

Thanks to Koteczek for PL translations! Thanks to BaphClass for answering questions! Thanks to Soul Filcher, Robert Johnson, Azakaela, Valrix, Alfrety, and Sonderleaf for putting out code that I examined very closely! Kaboom! and Dr. Oids sound effects from https://mixkit.co/ Pinball sound effects from Williams Electronics, Inc

***** FAQ - How do I install the animations? If you have build 41.53+, the animations are installed automatically! If you have build 41.50, contact me and I will send you manual instructions.

- What did you use to create the animations? Fragmotion

- Can you help me use Fragmotion? No. I barely know how to use it and have no plans to use it again.
