About This Game

YOU GET TO BE YOU IN A VIDEO GAME

Or anyone else you can dream up. Forget face sliders and drop-down menus. In YOU vs Zombies you start The Ritual: describe literally anyone or anything, and it becomes your playable, spell-slinging hero in seconds. A hardened battlemage. Your angry ex. A slice of sentient cheese. The Ritual takes you at your word, and exactly what you type decides whether you're a timeline-saving HERO or an absolute ZERO.

EVERY HERO PLAYS DIFFERENTLY

Describe your hero and, in seconds, our innovative Ritual assembles a run built around them: a magic school and unique spells, a stat archetype with a signature buff, a personal boss picked just for you, battle cries and dialogue, and character art drawn in our own hand-crafted style. Your imagination sets the terms; the apocalypse tests them.

SLING SPELLS OR DIE TRYING

This is fast, skill-first combat, not button-mashing. Quick-fire your spells on tap, or hold to charge devastating ricochets, grenades and flurries that carve through the horde. Fail, and there's no loading screen to save you: the timeline rewinds to the start of the level, and every chaotic boost you've collected disappears. Master your kit or start again.

THREE WIZARDS LEFT

The zombies won.

And what's left of humanity? Ash, a grizzled, gruff battle hardened mage. Morgan, a lyric-slinging former war medic who thinks this is all a terrible idea. And you. The dead are walking and we're fresh out of human shields and options -- so break the timeline and save the world.

YOU vs Zombies is a post apocalyptic roguelite ARPG in which you will need to leap back in time over and over again to try to change the timeline and save humanity.

• Dozens of 3D environments to face up to the zombie hordes

• Variety of objectives to challenge you including protecting survivors, searching for custom items, horde survival, combat waves, and boss fights

• Level Up loop, loot system, skill tree, trauma system (slaughtering zombies will take a mental toll on you!).

• Share your creations with the community!

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

How Does It Work? The Human-Led Creative Process

Players will start their game by participating in a time traveling Ritual.

AI doesn't write our story; it writes a story within a world which our creative team has designed. The Ritual takes what you describe and the world we’ve built – its art, biomes, enemy types, magic systems and overarching lore – and turns it into gameplay that’s personal to you.

These aren't AI suggestions; they are human-designed game mechanics and rules that AI must follow. During The Ritual, you describe your hero – their name, and how they look, plus curious nuggets about what they love, hate, are known for etc.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

This game features high-intensity fantasy violence where players destroy hordes of zombies using customised magic spells. Visuals include blood splatters, dismemberment, and explosions. The game utilizes a 'Trauma System' which references PTSD and mental health struggles in a stylized, narrative context. Dialogue contains crude humour and occasional references to alcohol.
