An open world game but the world is just a few city blocks, every single room in every building must be detailed & explorable, there would be a hospital, apartment, houses, businesses, shops, tunnels, parkland, garages etc etc.
The game would be a group of survivors, their needs for food, water, medication , clothes, fuel would be satisfied by exploring the environment and buildings, you need insulin? Search the hospital or medicine cabinets in the homes, you need food? Search the shops and kitchens? Water? Collect rainwater ... Each game day would present a list of priorities for the survivors to manage.
Risk and jeopardy would come from the environment it's self, other survivors who you could trade with or fight. Packs of wild dogs, maybe a few zombies but certainly not hoards, perhaps a Lion, escaped from the zoo. There are no long guns in this apocalypse but perhaps a pistol with limited ammo.
Importantly this must be a 1st/3rd person open world, the look and feel of the Last of Us 2.

Have you tried This War of Mine? It has many of the elements you describe.
That game is bleak AF. I love it, but it's crazy bleak. I won't download the kids.
I've toyed with the idea of playing, watched some YouTube walk throughs, it does hit the brief of my wish list game other than not being First/Third person game world....maybe I should give it a go
Project Zomboid?
I've played this and enjoyed it, but I feel it lacks the immersion that a first/third person game world could bring to my fantasy game
That sounds pretty similar to DayZ
