Project ZomboidVOIP (Voice Over IP) allows players to communicate using voice chat. Project Zomboid features proximity-based voice chat where players can only hear others who are nearby.
Voice chat can attract zombies if players are too loud. This adds a survival element where players must balance communication with stealth.
