Hey guys,
I’ve been lurking here for a while and wanted to ask something directly to people who actually care about zombies.
I’m currently working on a passion project called Undead Chronicles.
It’s basically my take on zombies going back to basics.
Trying to achiueve non-arcade style even though I also enjoy arcade shooters.
More like: slow, grounded, historical, tense.
Think COD WW2 Zombies atmosphere mixed with Resident Evil pacing and a bit of L4D pressure, but in a corridor / linear story setup. Not round-based.
Setting is 1923 Istanbul, so I’m trying to stay as historically grounded as possible.
Right now I have:
- M1911
- Mauser Rifle
- 1897 trench gun
I wanted to ask you guys a few things, especially if you’re into the older / WW2 style zombies:
1. If you had to add ONE more weapon (no meelee), what would it be? ( has to fit the 1920s)
2. Are you okay with the game being very dark (both visually and tonewise)?
3. How do you feel about slow zombies ONLY? No runners, no mutants, just classic Romero style pressure
I’m trying to keep everything very grounded and avoid turning it into another arcade shooter, so I’d really appreciate honest feedback.
(Also yeah, everything I share is raw gameplay, no fake trailers or pre-rendered stuff)
Curious what you guys think 👍
