ZombiU is a first-person action-adventure game that takes place in a zombie-infested London. The story follows a man who awakens from a coma to find himself in a world overrun by zombies. With the help of his son, he must navigate through the city to find safety and rescue his son, all while fighting off hordes of undead enemies.
The gameplay in ZombiU is fast-paced and intense, with an emphasis on stealth and strategy. Players control a character who can climb walls and ceilings, making it possible to explore the environment from new angles. The game also features a unique "resurrection" mechanic, where the player's character can be revived after dying in certain ways, adding a layer of survival horror to the gameplay.
