| dc.description.abstract | In his seminal work on social contract theory, Leviathan, Thomas Hobbes
described the anarchic pre-societal condition of the state of nature. In this
predicament – aptly named as “the war of all against all” – people lived poor, short
and brutish lives. The dystopian world simulated in the survival horror game DayZ
mirrors this natural state of man. The game invites players to roleplay survivors of
a zombie apocalypse. The present paper examines the factors contributing to
pervasive violence, moral ambiguity and degeneration of human condition, which
are prominent features of DayZ’s gameplay. The article will situate DayZ into the
context of Hobbesian state of nature and explicate elements that render this
hypothetical condition perpetual. | |
