Oh, the online version then. Well, since that one is quasi-multiplayer, it's very possible that the starting area simply doesn't have any zombies left.
There's a limited number of a certain monster population, and other players probably thinned it out.

How do I get a single player version?

At this point it's very much like Fallout

Depends, whether you're on Windows or Linux.

For Windows, you can grab the source or the binaries here: https://github.com/aposos/Cataclysm
For Linux you'll have to compile it yourself. Here's my How to Compile guide at the old forums: http://cataclysmff.zxq.net/SMF/index.php?topic=6.0

(that reminds me, I should move that to the new forum some day.)

Ok, I have the files. I have Windows, what do I do now?

[FunctionZero]

In that case just run them.

(You have gotten the executables, right?)

Make sure you grabbed the executables, not the source files. Download the zip with the executable, drag the Cataclysm folder inside to wherever you want it, and then double click the .exe file. Same way you run most programs that don't auto-install.

That's what I did wrong. Ok, everything is working now.

Thanks guys! Now I can ACTUALLY fight zombies. And find a faction. And find a safezone that isn't abandoned.

Unfortunately, NPCs are badly bugged.
Once you save the game and load it they evaporate from the whole world, never to return.
This is so that they don't break the game.
Their heads explode if the game thinks they are bugging out, but still.

So if I load a save, all life as we know it shall be gone?

MOLOTOVIN TIME!

Just friendly life. There should still be plenty of zombies and whatnot.

CARP!

Now I can't ever see what it's like to use nuclear weapons on innocent civilians, then watch them run from the green gas into a giant horde of zombies!

Yes! We have finally ported Cataclysm to smart phones! Wait, have we?
Or did FunctionZero just make a SSH connection?

Pretty sweet was planning on trying this as one of the first things to do whenever I get a smartphone

It seems that all creatures disappear when you get too far away from them, even without saving/quitting/loading. For instance, I placed a turret outside my house, then after going into my basement and coming back up, it was inexplicably gone. Same with a turret I found in a lab entrance, not to mention your starting pet dog.

Yes, individual monsters get re-absorbed into the local population when you get far enough away.  Lab entrance turrets should stick around; occasionally they seem not to, not sure why.  Friendly monsters don't yet stick around, but it's planned for the near future.

This makes me so happy
