Nobody Reads This

I always enjoy writing a good Plot-brief, long time readers might remember my “Novel Proposal”, well I have been moaning alot recently that there aren’t enough good Zombie Games.

So here is a Plot-line for a Project i’m going to write a design brief for, next installment will feature several ideas for possible game functionality. Enjoy. 

The year is 2009.

 After 27 long years of research, American scientists unveil a specially created viral agent; the sole-purpose of which is to elongate Human life significantly. When a living host is infected, the virus spreads throughout the body and maintains a healthy level of cell renewal meaning key-parts of the body can remain at the peak level of fitness.

The end result; a Human being that remains completely healthy; the nature of the virus acts as a Superior immune system warding off infection by other viruses and diseases. Man can now live to be hundreds of years old – If not more.

During further tests; a deceased host was infected - scientists were horrified. The virus spread easily throughout the body and started forcing the regeneration of the organs and muscle tissues; even the cortex of the brain regenerated – but prolonged brain-stem death meant the host was no longer capable of higher thought.

The Zombie was born.

Due to unknown circumstances an epidemic broke out, the recently deceased were rising up and responding to only their most basic instincts, largely crippled by muscular decay – they were slow – but their numbers grew to engulf many parts of the world; the worst affected areas being the developing nations of Africa and South America.

You have escaped with your life; it is imperative you seek out shelter and food – Perhaps there are other survivors?
