This is really great, I love a game that makes every item feel precious. I gave it a few runs and each run I felt like I knew a bit more.

That is, until the last run - I was able to gather a lot of great survival resources, but could never cobble anything together by way of weaponry. Then I ran into two zombies and used up my entire inventory and then lost. 

I love the concept of having more items makes my deck more unreliable in battle, but I think a slight balance tweak towards increasing durability of items used in battle could help a bit in situations where you just can't find anything to help. Or maybe even stacking the game luck in your favor towards items you haven't been able to craft in awhile.

Or more ways to use items to get around enemies. And being able to run away from fights. Basically I want more ways to strategize certain situations than drag my entire inventory to the zombies.

Maybe there's a system around luring and dodging zombies I haven't figured out yet. 

In summary, luck is a bit too much of a factor in balance, so there might be some ways to even the playing field a bit more.

I'd only write this if I thought the game showed amazing potential - so I think there's something really great here.

This is great! I read in the other comments that items used to all be reusable in combat, and I can see how it's better to have them consumable. I wonder if it would work good to have some items have more than one use, but not infinite? A tomato as a weapon goes splat, or a thrown rock makes sense to be gone after, but maybe my knife can stab more than once?

For a prototype this is really good!
Visually the game is beautiful and the audio adds nicely to the immersion.
The only thing that confuses me a bit is the ingame time. The clock keeps ticking even if I don't perform an action, but every action takes a certain amount of time to execute. And it seems I can perform multiple actions at the same time and they are executed in parallel (?) which defeats the point of the time system.
But overall I like the game! The crafting menu is nicely illustrated and easy to understand. The combat is interesting, with every item being a card for attacking / defending. Although I feel like I should have been punished for picking up everything I possibly could (I have almost 100 items after 3 ingame days and battles are easy. I have never fought more than 2 zombies at once though.)
