Story

Undead Rising is a text-based adventure strategy game where you play as Marco J. Cooper, fighting to survive when the zombie apocalypse becomes reality.

Gameplay

This game forces readers to rely on strategy and gut instinct when it comes to making choices, but not all choices are the best ones. I've incorporated some choices that seem like the obvious choice but will lead the story to a much harder path.

For reference, zombie behavior in this game follows that of The Walking Dead zombies, in that they are slow moving, attracted to sound and movement, and travel in herds. They don't run or form zombie pyramids to reach high walls and places. Knowing this should help in some of the decisions you will have to make.

There will be an inventory throughout the game and I've made it a point to provide only the vaguest of clues as to which item will suit a situation best, although in the beginning parts of the game there will be some pretty straightforward instructions as to what item to use, this serves as something like a tutorial for new players on how to use the inventory system.

There are a lot of plot twists as well, a lot of split scenarios, a number of paths for the player to take, and some may even hate me for the tough choices that they will have to make.

My aim for this game is to plunge the player into the zombie infested world and make them feel like they really are Marco J. Cooper. I take strong measures to make sure the player develops an emotional attachment to the characters in the game to make some of the scenes more interesting.

There will only be one ending in this game as this is only episode one but there will be a number of paths to reach that ending, some short, and some long, I encourage players to stick to one path only as to not spoil the scenes in episode two. But then again its your choice.
