The mansion doors slam shut behind you. Armed with a pistol and a handful of rounds, you have to search the house room by room, solve its locks and find a way out before the dead find you.

Zombie Resident is a love letter to late-90s survival horror. The camera stays fixed in each room, you move with classic tank controls, and everything is drawn the way a PlayStation would have drawn it: low resolution, wobbling vertices, warping textures and dithered colour. Every part of that look can be switched off in the settings if you prefer a cleaner image.

How to play

Explore, pick up everything you can carry and manage a small inventory grid. Hold Aim and press Fire to shoot; aiming locks onto the nearest zombie in front of you. Pressing Fire without aiming picks up items and interacts with doors, notes and puzzles. Ammunition is scarce, so sometimes running past a zombie is the better choice.

Progress is saved automatically at checkpoints, so you can close the tab and continue later.
