VIRUS PROTOCOL is an atmospheric side-scrolling zombie survival game set in a city destroyed by a mysterious outbreak.

Play as Arthur Fletcher, one of the few survivors left behind. Begin with a crumbling shelter, worn-out clothes, and an old baseball bat. Explore procedurally generated districts, enter abandoned buildings, search containers, and collect food, medicine, ammunition, and construction materials.

Rescue survivors and bring them back to your shelter. Assign them jobs, build new workstations, and turn the ruins into a fortified home. Craft melee weapons, crossbows, firearms, armor, and larger backpacks as your settlement grows.

Every expedition requires a choice: move quietly past the infected or face them in combat. Different zombie types have unique abilities, senses, and attack patterns, forcing you to adapt your strategy.

Upgrade your shelter, manage limited resources, equip Arthur for increasingly dangerous missions, and uncover how long humanity can survive under the VIRUS PROTOCOL.

I really like this even if this is it's 1st version, the only thing I gripe a bout is that pressing stealth while move or attacking does not transfer at all, required to stand still. Also errors on buildings and base skins are not loading when it lagged on mobile

This is pretty fun and I'm excited for future versions.

So, what's the endgame?  I can't take in anymore survivors, I've maxed out most of the buildings, and I'm walking through the expeditions.  It's a fun little game, but is there a final goal?

The game is currently in active development. Future versions will include more content and introduce a final objective.
