About the Game


Sunburnt is a multiplayer zombie survival game where guns WON’T help you! Zombie outbreaks have struck the country, and only a few humans have survived. Conventional weapons have little effect on the dead but they have a weakness…

Light and intensely painful sunburns!

In ‘Survival Mode’ players will fight alone or together at night against waves of zombies. Days are safe & short, once the sun rises players have a limited time to loot the map for weapons/items to help them survive the looming darkness which awaits them.
Make a stand and fight for as long as you can, competing with friends for the best score.
