One of the things that compelled me to buy PZ way back in the first Alpha was the dramatic Kate and Baldspot story and all of the branching events -- they put in a level of Devs Think of Everything that even Nethack would envy. The tension of the looter coming in to try to kill Kate and Bob, accusing her of being infected, was palpable -- and killing the looter as he attacks Kate was a vindication you almost never feel in modern gaming.

Similarly, films like the Dawn of the Dead remake (or even the original Romero ones) where people have to make the Hobson's Choice of killing the person, but giving them as long as possible as a real human being, are utterly nail-biting.

Compared to those, my two choices are either to tell my spouse to sod off with the Dismiss button, or to pretend nothing is wrong until my spouse tries to bite my and my friends' faces off.

Would it be possible to add a feature to create a quarantine area where infected survivors are forced to stay? One could simply assign an infected survivor and a healthy survivor as guards in the same room, but they will eventually leave the room for food and water, which offers a generally unhealthy chance that one or the other will be out of place at the wrong time.
