A first-person action adventure, it borrows heavily from the George A. Romero film Dawn of the Dead, being set in a zombie-filled shopping mall blocked in by articulated trucks. The player controls four protagonists exploring the mall. If a character's health is depleted, he turns into a zombie, which then roams the room they died in. Zombies can be killed either by numerous body shots or a single shot to the head. Characters are named after the creators of the game.
