And you will know us by the trail of the dead.

Zombies roam day and night, investigate sounds, hunt animals, break through barricades, and search for lost targets. The dead leave behind corpses that rot over time, attract flies, and eventually spawn maggots if left unattended. Reinforce your home with wooden boards, dispose of bodies before they become a problem, and survive in a world shaped by the constant presence of the undead.
