About the game

What you do in a play session

Zumbis! is a game‑book that throws you into a zombie apocalypse with a comic‑book flair and a dash of humor. The story kicks off in the subway, where a passenger suddenly mutates and starts devouring fellow riders, sparking chaos throughout the city. The twist? You can play as a survivor scrambling for the military base or as an infected zombie hunting for fresh brains. Each page presents choices that branch into new scenarios, creating two parallel narratives that occasionally intersect. Decisions are quick and often unpredictable, demanding deduction and a sprinkle of luck to stay alive without getting bitten. The game uses simple pen‑and‑paper mechanics, item collection, and narrative choices, all wrapped in Jon Lankry’s striking comic‑style artwork. No extra components are needed beyond the book itself—just a pencil to mark your path. With a low complexity rating (1/5), it’s perfect for a fast, fun, and highly replayable experience, as each playthrough can follow a different route. Playtime varies, typically ranging from 30 to 60 minutes depending on your decisions. If you love survival stories with dark humor and want to experience two distinct perspectives, Zumbis! delivers two adventures in one volume, guaranteeing laughs and a few scares along the way.
