Lydia awakens alone in a sprawling manor estate, cut off from survivors amid a raging epidemic that unleashes monstrous beasts on the countryside and burning city. She scavenges rooms for supplies, decides whether to fight undead foes with firearms and melee weapons or flee to safety, and solves puzzles using keys and logs to push forward. Limited inventory forces tough choices, with caches for storing gear and rare floppy disks needed to save progress in this unforgiving survival horror.
Classic hardcore mechanics demand constant vigilance across Story Mode's directed single-player path or Battle Mode's intense action scrambles to the exit. Play solo offline with customizable controls for gamepad, mouse, or keyboard, tackling multiple difficulties up to one-hit-kill Nightmares. Hardcore fans who relish restricted saving, inventory management, and fight-or-flee tension will find their match here.
As the city burns and the countryside is engulfed by the epidemic, the living are increasingly alone and forced to live with this new reality. Monstrous beasts and disfigured remnants roam freely with their numbers increasing rapidly, slaughtering everything in their path. In the opening chapter, Lydia finds herself separated from her fellow survivors and all alone. After fleeing into a large manor estate to escape the relentless horde, her only goal now is survival. She must explore the manor, locate supplies and find a way to wake from this nightmare. But somehow... she knows her fate is already sealed.
