other info:
- The game features a sandbox style gameplay on a tropical island separated by loading screens.
- The game features a multilayer damage system.
- There is a number of human factions that the player can join or be hostile with, these include the Military and Bandits.
- The main zombies are the George A Romero's slow walking zombies, but there is however more than one type of zombie.
- The game is more focused on melee combat, the player can pick up almost anything and use it as a weapon, (e.g. picking up a glass cup on a table and throwing it at a zombie) there are firearms but ammo will be hard to find to give the game more of a survival horror feel.
- There may be multiple endings.
