About the Game

A tower guard protects the town’s survivors but how does he pass the time when not shooting zombies? Hope; or How We Survived is a short, story based game with pick up and play shooting and dialogue mechanics.

The zombie apocalypse has come! Fear not, humanity has worked out how to keep it at bay. Though we have been pushed to the brink we are now, slowly, starting to rebuild. You have a small part to play; you are a tower guard who defends the town of Hope. Help any survivors that make it to Hope and keep the town safe.
It’s not glamorous or fun but it’s work that needs doing and you’re glad to be helping.
