1A first person [[SurvivalHorror survival horror]] game set in the fictional town of [[MeaningfulName Grinwood]]. You play a cop from a neighboring town named Donovan Ling, sent back to his old stomping grounds to investigate a garbled transmission from the Grinwood Police. Upon arrival, the entire town is burning, barricaded, and overrun with zombies. [[FromBadToWorse Things go downhill from there.]]

3A complete [[GameMod total conversion]] for ''VideoGame/UnrealTournament2004'', it was made almost entirely by ''one guy'' over the course of seven years with a professional musician providing the soundtrack.

7!!Tropes in this game include:
8* AlwaysNight: Averted, a nice change for a zombie game. While there are nighttime sequences, you spend much of the first half of the game in a bleary, cloudy autumn daylight, and part of the second half takes place during the day, albeit heavily overcast.
9* ApocalypticLog: Mostly in the police station.
10* BadassNormal: Donovan. He seems to get over the whole zombie thing fairly quickly.
11* ChainsawGood: Subverted. There's a chainsaw in the basement of the apartments, but you can't get to it.
12* DistressCall: How Donovan wound up in this mess in the first place.
13%%* DownerEnding: And how.
14* EverybodysDeadDave: Most of them, anyway.
15* FakeDifficulty: Frame rates and level geometry are far more dangerous than actual zombies.
16* GameMod: Total Conversion type and pushes the [=UT2K4=] engine to its limits. The current version is a vast improvement since the demo that was released before the full mod.
17* GuideDangIt: It's easy to get lost on some maps.
18* KillItWithFire: Averted. There's a note in the police station that states that use of fire is prohibited because the zombies just keep walking and burning everything they touch.
19* MegaCorp: Just one of the many [[spoiler:possible causes of the zombie rampage]].
20* NukeEm: The DownerEnding.
21* WhenTreesAttack: There's a reason the town is called Grinwood.
22* ZombieApocalypse: The plot.
23* ZombieGait: Averted in that the zombies tend to walk pretty quickly.
