Zombie Infection

The year is 2011 and New York is hit by a wave of terrorist attacks. The
police hasn’t been able to take care of the threat and therefore different
private forces have been created. In _Zombie Infection_ the player takes
control of members of one such team, the Inside the Action team. The team is
followed by a live TV crew and has therefore become very popular. It’s not
uncommon to see large crowds gathering outside the crime scenes cheering for
their favourite team. As the game starts the team arrives at the scene of a
possible homicide, but it doesn’t take long before they realize that it is no
ordinary murder. A virus has been released that turns people into bloodthirsty
zombies! Now the team has to go out and eradicate the zombies, find out who is
responsible and save the world!

_Zombie Infection_ is an action horror game with some adventure elements,
viewed from a top-down perspective. At the start of the game the player takes
control of Anderson, the leader of the team. When encountering an enemy
Anderson automatically draws his gun and a vertically moving crosshair appears
in front of the enemy. The player needs to time the shots to do as much damage
as possible. A well aimed headshot is enough to take down any zombie. At the
start of the game the player has a simple handgun, but at checkpoints he can
buy new and more powerful weapons of all different kinds. There are also other
items that can be bought, such as health packs and energy drinks. The player
pays with points that he earns for taking down enemies. In addition to killing
things the player can interact with different people and objects. Some objects
can be grabbed, pushed or kicked away. The player can also pick up items that
can be combined to create new ones.

Later in the game the player also gets to take control of the other two
members of the team, Mike and Shawna. For each character the play style is
different. While Anderson is trained in using guns and heavy weapons, Mike
prefers melee combat. Early on in the game he finds a katana but he can also
do ranged combat with shurikens. Shawna is the journalist of the team and
always carries a camera with her. Playing as Shawna is therefore less combat-
oriented and more about stealth. With her camera she can tape things she sees
and then sell it as exclusives. She can also use a lock pick to get access to
otherwise locked down areas. Some monsters need darkness to be protected and
these can only be taken down after being weakened by the light of Shawna’s
camera.
