Something has gone horribly, horribly wrong. What was once thought to be random acts of violence throughout different parts of the state are actually something much worse; the bodies of the recently deceased are returning to life and devouring the flesh of the living. No one knows why this is happening, and there's no time to find out. As a farmer named Jack, your job is to fight your way through amassing hordes of flesh-eating zombies as you struggle to try to find other survivors. Thankfully, salvation seems to rest in the hands of a business mogul named Kaufman, who is establishing a safety zone in an aptly named "City of the Living." Your only chance of survival is to make it to the City of the Living and help to clear it of all zombies, including its prize monument, a skyscraper called Fiddler's Green. Win, and you'll provide a safe haven for countless refugees of the ever-hungry hordes of the undead. Lose... and you'll join the ever-hungry hordes of the undead.
