Set in the early ‘80s in Hedge Hill, a small town near Kansas City, Trapped Dead is a tactical real-time strategy game inspired by the successful horror movies of the same period. The story begins when a local virus outbreak infects the inhabitants of the idyllic rural town, transforming its citizens into a horde of blood-thirsty zombies. Unfortunately for two college guys taking a random road trip, their arrival in the town results in a dangerous detour that has them fighting to survive.
Delivered in a third-person isometric view, players immerse themselves in this horrific scenario as they battle the zombie horde across a variety of game environments such as the mall, junk yards and jail that are filled with traps. Armed with a number of weapons and gadgets at their disposal, it’s a fight for survival, whether playing alone or in four-player co-op mode.
