Start as the zombie or as one of 9 unique characters whose survival depends on finding and transporting food, water and gas items to either the marina or airport in order to escape the doomed island town. Resource items slow your movement down (minus from die roll), while other items, such as weapons, medi-kit and the abandoned jeep, can come in handy. Some items are better left unfound (the zombie spawn). Get caught and there is a chance you will become a zombie for the rest of the game, so use doors and fences for temporary refuge, weave cooperative and individual play, and keep your wits about you if you hope to save at least a strand of what's left of humanity.
