OBJECTIVE:

Survive the endless horde of undead enemies for as long as you can. Beware! Instead of powering up yourself, you must strengthen the enemies and choose your own fate.


HOW TO PLAY:

Use your mouse to move the cursor and aim your gun. Shoot by pressing and holding left click. Use WASD to move and R to quick reload. Survive the horde!
