Project Zomboid is an isometric-viewed zombie survival RPG(ish) where you, and your injured wife, Kate, hole up in somebody's house after your city has been quarantined on account of zombies. In this game, still in Pre-Alpha, has no ending. Or as the dev puts it: "The only ending is where you die." Thus there are many ways you can die. You can burn food and set off a smoke alarm (and guess what that does), Get bitten or scratched, burn, get shot, starve, and many other ailments.
The tutorial starts with mending your injured wife. This is the tutorial. The game has a peculiar way of skipping it: you kill her with a pillow you can find where you get the first tutorial item. If not you get food, barricade, and such.

If you want to try the free prealpha demo, go to IndieStone's website. http://projectzomboid.com/blog/index.php/buy-our-games/

There you can find a free "demo" from File Planet. Or a bit-torrent link.

I died when I was looking for an axe to break down doors. I needed the wooden planks to barricade my house. I didn't find anything, so I ran outside to attempt to dispatch 2 zombies. I didn't see the 200-zombie horde that was right behind them. I tried to lure them away, as leading them to your house is stupid. It got night, I got tired, I messed up and got bit.

TIP: On the tutorial, when you put the pot of soup on the stove, just turn the stove on/offas fast as you can. This is actually a trigger for a shotgun-wielding raider to come in and shoot your wife. Hide in the brown room in the lower right of the house, holding the hammer. Once you see the door open, stay put until a couple of seconds after he checks the bathroom. After that, go up the stairs to kate's room and kill the raider from behind. Loot him to get a shotgun, a lighter, ammo, and a basebal bat.
