Overview and Gameplay
A top-down horror-themed action game where two teenagers move through neighborhood stages overwhelmed by parody monster attacks. The goal is to locate and rescue civilians while surviving increasingly dangerous areas filled with zombies, mutants, and other creatures inspired by classic horror films.
Progression is stage-based, with each level requiring a set number of rescues before an exit becomes available. The pace mixes exploration with constant pressure from enemies, forcing careful movement and quick reactions.
