Zomb-like

Story:
A corporation has created a zombie virus to terrorize citizens of a small town and extort money from them. Jake, an average teen in this small town, gets his father killed after not obeying the rules. He's fed up with all of this. He plans to stop this once and for all.

Jake, the protagonist, depicted with signature weapon, the Shotgun.

Gameplay:
The gameplay is similar to something called a Roguelike. In this genre of game, you walk on a map and explore dungeons in a turn-like fashion. When you take a turn, your enemy also takes a turn. Combat occurs completely on the map, also, and not in a separate combat system like in a typical RPG. Wikipedia has the complete definition here.

In this game, you play as Jake, walking around in either buildings, forests or cities. You have a gun with limited ammo that can shoot powerful blasts. If you run out of ammo, you resort to a less powerful punch attack. You can pick up more ammo of course, but you can only carry so much.

You would have teammates as well that could have different powers and weapons. Jake's younger, depressed brother would be your first teammate, and you could pick up other optional teammates later in the story.

Jake's brother, Jonas. He joins you at the very beginning of the game.

You can level up to increase your stats, but you could also equip different weapons to change stats as well. If you'd rather have a more powerful punch than your gun, you can equip brass knuckles, for example.
