My dearest, I hope this letter reaches you.

Our world is broken by this terrible virus and the end is near. We will escape with one of the last ships to a secret and safe place.

However, time is running out. I beg you, try to be at the pier in Haling Cove in 9 Days at the latest. That's the little town on the river, north of our home, which now no longer exists.

Please hurry, the ship can't wait any longer!

Time to go!

You win the game!

Congratulations for getting that far!

The ship will bring you to safety now.

Or Beam character to selected square

The new object behaves like any pre-placed object. If you place it in direct range of the character, its Card will spawn instantly.

If you place it anywhere else, you have to move your character close to that place to make its Card spawn.

Please note: Only objects placed next to or on a street will be seen by the character and spawn.

Zombies Turn

Day 1

Tutorial - Fighting Enemies

When your character Attacks a zombie, other zombies in that area will join the battle. Avoid fighting against more than one Zombie in the beginning!

There is no need to hurry here - during battles the in-game time is paused.

Lure single zombies into a fight (chance is 50:50), to make the battle easier. Zombies will attack you first, when you walk right into them.

Once the battle starts, all your inventory items turn into a Battle Card deck. Each item now has orange Damage and blue Protection values. Make sure you have enough items at hand before starting a fight.

Drag a Card over a Zombie to deal damage and to shield yourself. Each action consumes one Action Point. The item will permanently be removed from your inventory.

Good luck!

Got it!
