Survive. Protect. Endure.
In Ethan’s Watch, you play as Ethan - a husband fighting through a collapsing zombie outbreak to keep his pregnant wife, Sophia, alive. Resources are scarce, the infected are relentless, and every encounter is a risk.
Fight through abandoned homes, gas stations, and military checkpoints, cutting down hundreds of zombies while scavenging ammo, medical supplies, and essential gear. Survival is not about clearing every threat - it’s about reaching safety together.
If Sophia dies, the fight is over.
Game-play Overview
Ethan’s Watch is a linear, action-focused survival FPS built around intense combat and constant escort pressure.
