About This Game

ZOMBETES is a text-based zombie survival game where you play as a diabetic.

To survive, you must manage your blood glucose levels while avoiding infection. Navigate through procedurally generated levels in search of insulin and nutrition. Find items to barricade yourself, rest, and move on.

Death is inevitable; the question is, how long can you stay alive?

In your travels, you will encounter other survivors who may come to your aid or turn into adversaries. Fight for your life against the walking dead. No time to stop and smell the roses—your blood sugar is dropping. Eat the sandwich, inject the insulin, and find your next dose.
