A proper Character Action Game — third-person slashing and hacking, no auto-combat.

Wasteland survival rules: precise slashing, slick footwork — don't die stupid, and make sure you look good doing it.

When outmatched, throw a rock. Or chant a spell. Or elegantly set something on fire.

Fight your way from one broken station to the next. Scavenge some gasoline, canned food, and those shiny zombie crystals along the way (rumoured to be tradable for gear — or maybe just a pile of junk).

Your backpack is only so big. Bring the katana, or the neighbourhood-waking megaphone? Cleaver, fork, steroids, running shoes, jet booster, quantum blade, fireworks, petrol bomb, soul-binding charm, undead convoy, rubber chicken… The more absurd the combo, the higher your survival odds (or maybe the opposite).

Every station is a little different:

Abandoned Block: Nothing unexpected here — probably!

Demon District: The zombies there are a bit unhinged, but there's extra loot too. Tough call.

Abandoned Gas Station: Stock up on fuel and save yourself some travel time.

Abandoned Supermarket: Plenty of food to keep you going a few more days — or sell for cash.

Shop: Might just find something lovely.

Hospital: Think the nurse will give you a discount?

Synthesis Plant: Dead end or last resort? Either way, you've got nothing left to lose.

The map is a spiderweb, and Demon District is waving at you. Which route? Pick the craziest one — none of them lead to a long life anyway, so you might as well die with style.

Now get moving. Make those zombies regret crawling out of their graves!
