About the game

The janitor wasn't supposed to see any of this.

One night, sixty minutes, a zombie town. The military bombs it at midnight, and the high school janitor slept through the broadcast. Take the pistol, light your phone and cross on foot. Save who you can. Find out why.

01
Nobody's hero

He mops the high school floors.

His shift ended at six. Tonight he crosses a dead town with whatever he can grab.

02
All he's got

The only light in town fits in his pocket.

Flashlight, map and a line to the survivors still calling for help. Answer, and the night gets longer.

03
The zoo got out

Twenty-three species. All of them infected.

Then a circus ringmaster, a scarecrow under a storm of crows, and a T. rex skeleton that stood back up.

04
Cover-up

The broadcast lied.

It says quarantine. Quarantines don't end in a military strike at midnight. Somebody wants this town gone, and everything in it.
