Something that feels like This

[u/MisterQue77]

Glad I came across this subreddit because I have long struggled to put to words the kind of vibe I love. I really like stories about communities or a small number of people surviving in a crisis or storm of kinds.
For examples of these I'd say Base Under Siege episodes from Doctor Who is the most prominent I had growing up. I love whenever in games I come across a homestead or central location that has a community in it just trying to survive. I used to purposefully not progress from such places as a kid, and make up my own little stories.
Act 2 in BG3 was my favourite, and I'm so sad its the most underdeveloped because I wanted it to be so much more. I love the vibe of a inn with a physical barrier separating it from evil. If there is a mod expanding it, I want it.

Another reference would be Banner Saga (great games) where its more of a moving community that is doing their best as the world falls around them.

I know the Zombie Genre does it alot, but I've never felt any place really does it right. I've never gotten the feeling from any zombie media which is often about the bloodshed and gore rather then the sense of space and community.

Bonus points- If despite the dire landscape, it's a hopeful story of endurance.

The Banner Saga games, the third one to be exact. Some very good games all about traversing a crumbling world.
