Key & Compass presents:
Zombies!
by Chris Cenotti

Zombies! is a Z-machine interactive fiction game written with Inform 6 and is © 2004 by Chris Cenotti. It took 5th place in the Commodore 32 Contest, where the storyfile entries could be no larger than 32K in size.

In this small horror game, you're an assistant janitor at the complex. Before Old Mac died last week, he warned you about the zombie research they were doing here and he must've been right because your boss just screamed "they're loose!" and pulled you into his office, locking the door. Then he collapsed, bleeding from serious bite wounds.

This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 4 of the game.
