About the game
Ever wondered what life is like for a salaryman during a zombie apocalypse? In Zombielife Insurance, that's exactly your reality! As a zombie virus spreads dangerously through the population, you must decide how to manage your money so you don't end up as just another corpse on the sidewalk. The Zombielife insurance company is everywhere, offering policies that cover everything from early symptoms to full transformation into an undead creature. The big question is: will you play it safe, investing in protective gear to avoid infection, or will you be the type to bet it all on robust life insurance to ensure your family lives in luxury with the payout if you turn into a zombie?

The game is a race against time and your own luck. You can try to be the smart survivor, investing your resources to grow and protect yourself, or you can simply accept your fate and ensure your death is profitable for those left behind. It's a game of quick decisions and humorous (and financial!) moral dilemmas. Will you manage to escape the epidemic, or will you end up trying to bite your friends while your family enjoys your money? With a dynamic that blends resource management and a touch of speculation, Zombielife Insurance turns zombie chaos into a business opportunity. Prepare your contingency plan, pick your policy, and good luck trying not to get eaten!
