Just tried this for the first time, it's pretty fun.
First attempt failed due to Self Delete, I climbed a huge tower in search of food but it didn't have anything, so instead of climbing all the way down the tower with broken stairs, I jumped
Second attempt went well, I was near a huge fight where the last guy standing bled to death, so after he revived as a zombie, I killed it and got a stuff ton of loot. Then I went on a journey, and in a search for food, I met a guy outside of a mansion, I offered him one of the ten water bottles I got from the fight and we went looking for a way in, we got eaten by a hoard that was behind the mansion
