You are stuck in a motel with a horde of zombies that only wants to eat your brains.

Try to stay alive and find a way out of this place.

The Z.E.D. Protocol is a zombie hack-and-slash game.

There is only one area for now, with lots of zombies to kill and 8 melee weapons to try.

Tips

• First, you must find a weapon. The big floating arrow will help you find where you need to go. To pick up weapons or other items, simply walk over them.

• Keep an eye on your health (heart icon) and stamina (lightning icon). Running and attacking drain stamina.

• The quick attack (left click) does less damage, but can hit multiple zombies and drains less stamina. The power attack (right click) does more damage, but hits only one zombie and drains more stamina.

• If your stamina gets too low, your attacks and movement will be slowed, and you'll deal less damage.

• If you get tired, stop moving for a while or try walking instead of running (press Caps Lock or hold Shift).

• Zombies may drop weapons and other items. There are items that restore your health (pills, first aid kits) and stamina (chocolate bars, energy drinks).

• After you've killed all the zombies in the area, the exit will be unlocked and the floating arrow will point to it. Stand in front of the gate and press E to open it.

The Arsenal

    Crowbar: Mr. Freeman's favorite.
   Pipe: Weak, but light and easy to use as an improvised weapon.
    Hand Axe: Not made for killing, but will do in a pinch.
    Baseball Bat: Good for bashing zombie skulls.
    Machete: Decent balance of speed and damage.
   Fire Axe: Heavy, but hits hard.
    Knife: Poor against crowds, but power attack may land a critical hit.
    Katana: A samurai's weapon.
