Zombies Aren't Real

Zombies Aren't Real is a horde-defense, strategy game where you attempt to control a quick-spreading zombie infection in real-world cities by commanding military forces.

You're given a bird's eye view of a city and shown where the infection will begin, but you have time to plan.  With limited resources, carefully choose how you will respond to the infection and establish a plan to save as many civilians as possible.

Once you're ready the chaos begins. The zombies will fan out and begin to infect the population.  You are able to adapt your plan on the fly.  If the zombies break through your perimeter you can call in air support such as bombers or gatling gun helicopters to attempt to stop the spread before it gets out of control.

If you're able to eliminate all the zombies you win and your score is determined by how many civilians you saved.

Features

• Play in real-world cities

• Deploy specialized ground forces against the spreading horde, such as snipers, turrets, mortar squads and garrisons

• Call in air strikes when things get out of hand, but be careful to aim them well to minimize civilian casualties

• Place safe zones, gates, and more to protect the civilian population

• Steam Workshop support for custom maps

• Play with one other friend in Online Co-op Multiplayer

"Zombies Aren't Real" is highly strategic and winning will push you to think cleverly and experiment with different combinations of units, buildings and upgrades.  It is not an incremental game.  Losing is fun! We encourage you to retry often, restarting a scenario once defeat is inevitable to adjust your strategy. The fun is in figuring out how to best defend the city!
