The year is 2011, and a terrible infection has spread across the United States.

The infection was airbourne as well as highly contagious. Symptoms were similar to the flu, including high fevers, vomiting, coughing, as well as a general weakening of the immune system. Due to this epidemic, the US began to collapse. Hospitals were overrun with infected patients, plants and livestock began to perish, which led to the economy's failure. All of the military bases were facing difficulties trying to quarantine the disease, even failing to stop the infection from spreading within their own ranks. There seemed to be no answer, and no cure...

But the worst was yet to come.

It was roughly a week before those who were unfortunate enough to become infected began to show enormous amounts of hostility to family, freinds, and strangers alike. This single infection brought down the entire USA from the inside, as its own citizens were murdering each other out of an unexplained rage.

It's been four weeks since the infection began. Those who were neither killed nor infected have held out and survived in shelters in cities, towns, and rural areas using any means necessary.

Now, follow the story of two survivors as they attempt to survive Hell on Earth.

Featured! I can die happy now...

I can't believe it! I'm at a loss for words. This has been my dream since joining RMN.

Infection is featured! And on the day after Halloween, it's so perfect. Thank you so much!

To everyone that has made this game possible I'm so grateful. To everyone who has supported, reviewed or left a comment I thank you all very much. My dream has come true and I'm incredibly happy about this. :D

Happy Halloween!

Oh yes, definitely need more Zombie RPGs. Of all the zombie titles... RPGs seem to be the fewer numbers, so thanks -- subbed <3

I've been looking all over for this game cause I wanted to give it a try and so I downloaded it and I liked it so far until I tried to exit the building you start out in and I got an error saying that cit2 couldn't be opened. I don't like the abs for the game but I think I could work through that if I could just play more than just the beginning portion of the game.

I like the game so far so far though as far as I got to play it anyway.
Thanks for letting me know, it's probably a missing panorama or battle bg, my RMtool has been acting up and sometimes I'm not sure if I have everything when I update.

I'll look in though, thank you for trying it out and I'll send you a private message when I get a new update up, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the game further!

Hello everyone, didn't feel this was big enough to put into an announcement, and I guess I'll make of the comments! So...

Just an update on Infection, steady progress is being made everyday just about so fear not, this project is still underway!
I've been in the process of moving lately and figuring things out with my job and finding a new one. (wish me luck!) So I have more time to work on my hobbies but really soon I'll probably be back to less development, sadly.

Anyways, back to the update, I've been really excited recently as I found 4-5 more enemy sprites of the same graphical style as the ones I have now, which is a very good thing!
I've also been working on the dialogue, enemy stats and some mapping towards the beginning of the game, as I want it to be the best. I'm considering re-do some of the intro, not too fond of it.

But yeah, thanks for reading and thank you to all my supporters and subscribers!
Downloading it nao

Edit: I want to cry, I got lucky... in the next battle John died, then Lucky died and I was left with Michelle who only had 20HP left :(

Edit again: I played again and I cant seem to get to lvl4 without dying from lack of healing items :((

@supreme- Thanks man, it's a HUGE improvement(imo) over the first version, as you can see from Creation's Pass or Fail.

And hey, can't get cocky with zombies, they don't take it kindly. :P
Badass game, I played up to the bit where they find the dog then I died... because Michelle was already wounded and that was because I got a bit cocky and took on every zombie I saw on site :P

Huge improvement though I like it.

I like the changes in characters and skills. It is pretty intense at first because you don't have much healing items and there are tons of undeads, but it gets much easier once Michelle learns Tend Wounds.
I would have liked access to a savepoint though. And maybe I didn't look everywhere but I can't find a way to light up the subway tunnels. And there's that shiny thing in the upper corner of the southern map I can't reach.

It does get easier when they start to level, get new skills, etc. but it will start getting harder with more powerful infected and more numbers in battle.
I JUST added saving everywhere ingame, so I hope this helps. I know it's annoying not being able to save and I've been forgetting to get around to it, but now it's there and will be in the next update!
You have to find a generator to power the controls, again in the next update I'll add soon it will be able to go all the way through that area. But I'm pretty sure you can turn on the lights with one of two generators in the city.
As for that sparkle you can't get to...it's going to be a secret area where you get an item, just haven't set it fully in motion yet. :D

Thanks X-Tech, the more people say "I will play this" the faster and harder I will work at its completion! :D
Awesome cakes! I LOVE zombie games.
I will play this.

And all of you are helping! Working on it as we speak, getting story progression done as well as new exploration.
I appreciate all the support!

UPDATED DEMO is on the way!
It is the Halloween teaser with a little more meat on the bones, it has a smooth stopping point so there isn't any confusion, and most importantly everything has been revamped in some little way or another since Halloween!


So, just to have a better demonstration of the game, please enjoy!

IF: I definitely like what you're doing. Every reinventing of the game has been a step forward, an improvement over the last download. Keep up the good work! I'm definitely looking forward to this becoming a finished product.

Thanks Grimdark, that is very nice to hear. :)
I'm glad you and the others who have given their opinion are liking the improvements. I do intend on completing this game, I just want the best experience possible from the beginning to the end that I can be proud of.

I really appreciate the support!
"Suikoden does zombies" sounds like a brilliant idea for a zombie game. However, I don't think this particular game should go in that direction. You might want to try looking into a game called Dead State, which is NOT an RPGM game, but it still might be something worth your while, Kaje.
