## Description
Prepare for a desperate escape in Carnival Zombie, a cooperative game where you and your friends band together to survive a zombie apocalypse in Venice! The city, built upon the slumbering body of a Leviathan, is about to awaken, and with it, the dead rise from the lagoon's depths. You control a group of characters trying to flee hordes of infected and the chaos engulfing the streets, all while the city itself begins to sink. The game unfolds over days and nights: during the day, you move through the city, dodging tremors and the undead, and at night, you take cover behind barricades to resist attacks. Each character has unique abilities, adding a tactical layer to cooperation. The race against time is intense, as the Leviathan's awakening accelerates the city's destruction. Your paths will be blocked by fearsome bosses, servants of the monster aiming to prevent your escape. Successfully leaving the city is an achievement, and the score obtained serves as a challenge for the next game. With a unique setting and constant tension, Carnival Zombie offers a challenging and immersive cooperative survival experience, perfect for those who enjoy horror and action themes with a historical twist.
