  • Zombies
  • Parkour
  • Open world

A quarantined city full of zombies that you cross by leaping over rooftops with parkour. By day you scavenge for supplies and craft weapons; by night far more dangerous creatures come out and it's time to run. Four-player co-op.

Why play it now

When you want action and tension in an open world, solo or with friends, in sessions of one or two hours.

Who it's for

For anyone who enjoys freedom of movement, melee combat and the terror of the night.

When not to pick it

If gore and tension get to you: the nights are genuinely scary.
