About the Game

Goodbye, Dead-End Job. Hello, Undead New Life!

You were born and raised in Hippo City, a city just like any other (No zombies, no ghosts, and definitely no reptilians!).

Like everyone else, you studied hard, went to college, and landed that stable 9-to-5...

Or maybe you skipped class, picked fights, and ran with the gangs.

You thought this was how the story ends. Until one day, life gave you a little bite.

No Pain, No Brains

In Local Zombies, death is not the end—it’s a brand-new beginning.

Your past efforts may have gone unrewarded in life, but in death, they finally get their moment to shine.

No profession is better or worse than another. Every profession will be transformed into a unique type of zombie.

All for One Zombie, One Zombie for All

Through multiple progression paths, you can unlock dozens of unique zombie types.

In life, they may have been friends, lovers, or sworn enemies. In death, they all fight by your side.

From a lonely wanderer to the leader of a growing horde, you’ll take back the city, one block at a time, and uncover the dark conspiracy lurking beneath the surface of Hippo City.

Game Features

  • Collect dozens of unique zombies

  • Customize each zombie’s origin and appearance
