About this game
At the twilight of the apocalypse, will you be a Zombie Herder, or humanity's Savior?
In a crowd, those who stand apart often invite envy or jealousy; those who are stronger may find themselves demanded of even more. Even seclusion in mountain forests cannot sever the world's shackles completely.
Ten years ago, a biochemical virus swept across the globe. Though humanity fought back with all its might, it could not withstand the relentless waves. Now, the world has fallen into chaos—most of mankind has become the walking dead.
Amidst this catastrophe, a young girl and her brother struggle to survive. Yet the virus continues to mutate, and the world itself is quietly changing. Some who appear uninfected may have already undergone genetic transformations, while among the walking dead, certain individuals are gradually developing consciousness.
The girl slowly discovers she possesses a unique ability: she can control certain zombies. Others like her—mutated yet asymptomatic—exist in the world, often bearing different powers, but are hunted by local warlord organizations for that very reason.
If it were you, would you choose the so-called future of humanity, or the path of self-preservation?
The siblings must face not only zombies, but also evade even more terrifying pursuers. After a sudden accident separates them, the young girl embarks on a long journey to find her brother.
Core Gameplay
In Chapter 1, the girl arrives at the great tree where she promised to meet her brother. Delayed along the way, she finds only a letter left behind. Having waited so long, her brother feared the worst and set out for the city to search for her.
Chapter 1 serves as an introduction to familiarize players with basic controls and mechanics. Players begin with the first skill: Capture Skill, which can capture single or multiple zombies of the same level.
Captured zombies can be issued three commands: Attack, Follow, and Standby.
Players then unlock the second skill: Control Skill. This allows precise commands for captured zombies to move or attack designated targets. Players can also upgrade skills to enhance captured zombies' stats.
Chapter 3 unlocks the third skill—Assimilation. This ability allows players to temporarily blend into hordes of equal-level zombies without being attacked, significantly boosting health and defense while also enabling them to sense hidden zombies.
The game features a rich system of interactive items. Players can not only use these items directly but also equip their captured zombies and command them to utilize these items. Skillful use of these items is the core strategy for defeating enemies and clearing levels.
Chapter 5 will unlock the Ultimate Skill—Master Skill. Players can summon multiple zombies to aid in battle at any time and challenge even more powerful enemies.
There's even more exciting content awaiting your discovery!
