Yes correct. I tried both and was annoyed that the zombies aren't deadly enough. Like "oh we have this serious virus but you can survive getting bitten multiple times"
With the idea I wanted less of a story (and let's be honest both games and their successors did not have good ones) and more of interesting escape attempts (find a drill and move underground, or dress up as someone from the military or idk get catapulted with a parachute)
Hah! You're a masochist. One of my several major complaints with Project Zomboid is the incurability of the bites. You can slow it, but once you're infected, you're going down at some point.
There's some game I remember seeing a video review of that was third-person. Dunno about the escape or questlines. Didn't blow me away.

Maybe it's Days Gone.

Yeah, doesn't have the escape questlines that you want.
Choice of Games has a series (trilogy?) of zombie games that has multiple different routes to escape, but that's almost certainly not what you're looking for, as it's multiple-choice text adventure.

Two games, Zombie Exodus and Zombie Exodus: Safe Haven. One of their better games, IMHO, but unless you're dead-set on just the zombie escape thing thematically, I assume that it's not what you want. It's also not procedurally-generated.
I know all the games you have listed. I havent played them but I can tell that none have the features that I am looking for.
Prohect Zomboid comes close in terms of environment but has a different gameplay approach.
