What is Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead?

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead is a open-source turn-based survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world. It is often described as a “zombie game”, but there is much more to it than just zombies.

The game is procedurally generated, which means that each playthrough is unique, and it features RPG-like skill progression system and is often considered as an epitome of a modern roguelike.

It’s notable for its high level of difficulty and its emphasis on realism, and you must manage attributes like hunger, thirst, and fatigue, as well as deal with injuries and illnesses.

Chezzo ran a wiki that was used by the game for some time at:

http://cddawiki.chezzo.com/cdda_wiki/index.php

A lot of useful information, like about martial arts and such, is on there. Unfortunately, that domain apparently went down about two months ago.

A (fairly-recent) copy of the wiki, archived in late March 2024, can apparently be viewed at:

https://web.archive.org/web/20240324103752id_/https://cddawiki.chezzo.com/cdda_wiki/index.php/Main_Page

It looks like archive.org also dumped a several-months-older copy of the site, from August 2023, with MediaWiki-scraper:

https://archive.org/details/wiki-cddawikichezzocom_cdda_wiki

I'd guess that this is sufficient to bring the Wiki back to life if someone with a MediaWiki setup wants to do so.
