Game overview
‘The Good the Bad and the Zombie’ is a third person horror/action/hack
and slash/strategy zombie apocalypse game where the player assumes the role as
one of two redneck brothers, armed to the teeth with found and homemade weapons
trying to flee their trailer park in search of salvation.
The game will take place in three locations, the trailer
park, woodland area and local town. The player will need to use their instincts
as they utilise their surroundings to take out hordes of the un-dead. They can
lure the un-dead into areas that have been booby trapped with gas canisters and
petrol as well as distract them from attacking your partner with the scent of
your own blood. You and your partner
must work together to prevent being surrounded and ultimately reach safety.
