Zombie flick idea
Man, I had this kickass zombie game idea and Jon made it all the better.
You're part of this posse in Alabama after your family suddenly disappears and you're left with nothing but debt. You go hide in the undeveloped parts of the state, amassing wealth and stuff when you notice this plague going 'round that causes people to start dying on the inside, forcing them to take on living flesh to stay alive, thus feeding on others. It seems to be a rather small problem, but it grows larger and larger, forcing you to leave your home to try to get rid of the plague, thus killing all those you see. However, as you lose contact with parts of your posse and things grow grim, it's becoming less of a massacre and more of a fight for survival.
And you don't even survive in the end.
In fact, what was considered to be a state-wide problem started in another part of the country LONG ago... you go to run from the plague, and you end up getting killed elsewhere. It's sort of like how Dawn of the Dead turned out. Anywho, you get access to all sorts of weapons at the beginning, but you end up having to ration out everything, because the higher-end guns aren't available anymore later on in the game.
It's the opposite of how most games go, going from having a limited selection to having it all... but losing everything. Depressing, huh? I thought so.
What do you think?
