Introduction

Undead & Unemployed from hxtnv is a low-poly, third-person zombie shooter set in a post-apocalyptic town where the trailer park is somehow still doing business. You play as Lucky, the resident who gets things done, and help Big D, Pickles, and Darlene by taking on story missions: recovering your cart, clearing houses, handling Marty, and keeping the dead from overrunning the fence. Combat is flexible: use pistols, rifles, shotguns, a sniper, or a baseball bat, or save ammo by driving through zombies and watching ragdolls tumble. Between missions, search houses, wrecks, and the supermarket for loot, sell finds to park vendors, and buy better gear before the next run. There are timed rampages, street races, and a derby focused on running over as many zombies as possible. Vehicles can be crashed, repaired, refueled, and towed, and hidden collectibles are scattered around town. The tone is comedic and chaotic, with open-world driving and zombie-killing as the core.
