The first thing that hits you is hunger.

Not for food, or drink. But for flesh. Human flesh.

And as you stand up, in a random street of Malton, you rise as a member of the living dead. You are… you're… not sure. But that doesn't matter. All that matters is you need to eat. Eat the living. Eat the dead. It doesn't really matter.

You must eat.​

QM's Notes! Welcome to Dawn of the Urban Dead! Based on the browser game Urban Dead, I found out the game closed down recently, and got nostalgic. This is mainly me having some fun with the setting. Don't expect a grand story. Just some fun playing a zombie.

Medic + Memories of Life New
You... you were a medic...

Joe, hand me... chest compressions...

It's too much of a blur. But as you look down, you see medical kits hanging off of your body. You know what these were. You know how to use them...

But the hunger... you still hunger...

[You start with 3 First Aid Kits, or FAKs. FAKs heal 10 HP, and are single use.]

What do? (You have 50 AP for the day.) Choose One.

[ ] (Memories of Life) A zombie is struggling with getting into a building. He doesn't realize he needs to pull on the door (1 AP)
[ ] (Attack) Attack the Zombie. Flesh is flesh. (1 AP per Attack.)
[ ] (Shamble) Shamble in a random direction. It all looks the same (6 AP for 3 Movement)
[ ] (Medic + Memories of Life) That... that looks like a hospital over there... (10 AP, make it to the hospital. ???)
