Game Lore & Background 7daystodie

Is there any background or lore to the game? I've always wondered what happened to get us to this place.

My guess is that the infection happened AFTER a war of sorts. Every building you go into is boarded up and locked, many places appear like they were trying to make them defensible (e.g. high school in Navezgane), and every "dead corpse" has a chance of junk, ammo, and gun parts. Were they fighting zombies, or each other? Electricity is working (lights, refrigerators, business signs), plumbing works, and someone is coordinating airdrops. Every business has the appearance of already being looted and what's left behind is what we find.

In addition, there's something crazy going on with the locale. Loot respawns, trees and plants grow at uncanny rates, and we reappear at the last place we slept when we "die". Oh, and the zombies have a hive mind. This leads to something more than a mere infection.

I want the Pimps to focus on gameplay first, but I am very excited to see where they take the story once that's all ironed out.
