Clear a zombie-infested three-story mansion with ocean views in this horror top-down shooter. Play as Alan Rogers, a 27-year-old cleaner battling undead hordes, mutants, and rival cleaners vying for the same prize property. Enemies attack on sight-some hiss, others shoot-while you track health via sight color shifts from green to red and blood-splattered screens.
Start with one weapon and endless ammo, gaining new ones between levels with automatic unlimited replenishment. Use an inexhaustible lantern to spot foes in the dark, throw limited red glowsticks to mark paths or bait shots around corners, and fully eliminate all threats to unlock green arrow exits. Mouse-and-keyboard or joystick controls handle movement, shooting, reloading, and switching up to six weapons. Fans of intense indie action adventures packed with survival tension will keep coming back.
THE STORY
Zombie apocalypse has come to an end! Anti zombie virus serum has been created long ago and little needs to be done - to clear the world of zombies! But it’s easier said than done, the dead walkers will not perish themselves, and the virus inside their bodies is capable of breeding new mutants. Thus, the confederation formed of what’s left of the human race has issued a new order to let anyone take possession of any estate property flooded with walking creatures in case if they’re all eliminated by the claimant.
Needless to say, that there are people who want to - more than enough?
Thus protagonist aimed my feet for one of the three-storey mansions with an ocean view to seize it! I guess it’s crowded not only with bloodthirsty zombie hordes, but other “cleaners” like main character, who do not wish to share their future possession with anyone else.
