  2. Summary When the University of Zachary O’Mally-Bush Interdisciplinary Edification (Z.O.M.B.I.E) decides to serve D grade beef in the school’s cafeteria, strange things begin to happen to those who eat it. Hours after ingesting the contaminated meat, students begin to turn into these zombie-like creatures, mindlessly attacking and trying to eat the other students. This is when we are introduced to the hero/heroes of the game (depending on number of characters you decided to play with) who are all students in a class in which an infected student has begun attacking the teacher. They save the teacher by defeating the zombies but find out the school is overrun with many of these sick, zombie like students. But time is of the essence: the cafeteria sold beef tacos at half price for lunch, and everyone loves tacos. It won’t be long till the infections changes those who ate it into zombies. Their quest is not only to escape from the school alive, but to help other students and faculty that have yet to be contaminated. That is if they can do it in time before our heroes, who indulged in Cheap Taco Tuesday, become zombies themselves.

When a character defeat an enemy, they will gain some experience points (XP). • When the XP reaches a progressive threshold, the character will “Level up”. • Each level the player attains will increases the character’s abilities (i.e. strength, defense, etc.) and will also receive a skill point to spend towards the character’s skill tree. • Each level up will aid the character in fighting stronger enemies (who have a set level).

  5. Mechanics 2. Skill tree for characters to acquire and build special skills • Each character will have their own skill tree. • Each time a character level up, he will get one point for his skill • There are different levels of skills, and as such, to acquire higher levels of skills, lower levels must be purchased first.

  6. Mechanics 3.
