Gameplay in Zombie Pandemic: Top-Down Map View
Most navigation happens via top-down map view, as if you've stepped back and above the game world and are looking down on things.
Now that TUMBLRFan has awakened, figured out he's in his pajamas with no armor or weapons, he has to start scavenging right away. In the photo below (part of the tutorial, anyway, that all players can go through at the beginning of the game), TUMBLRFan is going to scavenge from the white car on the right side...
Take note of the red cluster in the top left... those are ZOMBIES or Enemies. From top-down view, you can tell if the map square you're in has dangers in it - zombies or enemies. You'll not want to keep your character in this area for long.
