outside area idea:the forest
the forest is a mixed bag. it's a place of many environmental hazards and has little supplies, but simply appreciating nature can do wonders for your sanity and the local wildlife reminds you that there is still life out there.
wait a minute? is that a fucking wendigo?
essentially. if you can afford the risk the forest is one of the best ways to keep sane. animals can be a source of food or simply admired to reduce loneliness. but if you explore the forest in the night, you might encounter something more dangerous that your normal zombie.
