The Outsider

Title Screen

Backstory - Zombie Outbreak! Surprise! Some guy managed to make a safe city-like place where survivors gather and now they do the best they can to stay alive. One of these things is creating a group known as the "Outsiders" people who venture beyond the walls in order to help keep water/electricity going and gather food or other supplies. Most "Outsiders" need to be agile and able to do the task assigned to them. "Outsiders" select one person to be their contact for back at the city. This is a personal decision that each "Outsider" makes themselves. It's been about a year and a half since the beginning of the real outbreak (when things really started rolling downhill).

You play as: Richard - Only child, both parents died at the hands of zombies. In order to cope with how shitty things are, he ends up turning everything into a joke and becomes an asshole to everyone! He's very self-centered and is very good at what he does: hunt and kill zombies. He's very agile and dependable for these missions, hence why he became an Outsider.

Zombies - They're zombies. They shamble and some jog (no runners though)... depending on how recently they've been infected/turned, the faster they are, with "joggers" being very recently infected. Most, however, are "shamblers" at this point due to it being a significant amount of time since their turning. It's been speculated by the Dr. that zombies have this natural predatory instinct towards humans and animals close to humans (cats, dogs, etc.). They don't need to eat but eating seems to rejuvenate them (make them revert to an earlier stage of post-infection allowing them to run faster). They don't feel anything but seem to react to sound and sight and, in rare cases, smell.

While still early in development, I hope that, in time, The Outsider will become much more complete so I can have something under my belt to be proud of!
