Lydia se réveille seule dans un vaste manoir isolé, coupée des survivants au cœur d'une épidémie déchaînant des bêtes monstrueuses sur la campagne et la ville en flammes. Elle fouille les pièces en quête de ressources, choisit d'affronter les morts-vivants au fusil ou à l'arme blanche, ou de fuir vers un abri, et résout des énigmes à l'aide de clés et de logs pour avancer. L'inventaire limité impose des choix cornéliens, avec des caches pour stocker l'équipement et de rares disquettes indispensables pour sauvegarder dans ce survival horror impitoyable.
Les mécaniques hardcore classiques exigent une vigilance de tous les instants, que ce soit dans le parcours solo scénarisé du Story Mode ou les courses effrénées vers la sortie du Battle Mode. Jouez offline en solo avec des contrôles personnalisables pour manette, souris ou clavier, et affrontez plusieurs niveaux de difficulté jusqu'aux Nightmares où un seul coup est fatal. Les fans hardcore friands de sauvegardes restreintes, de gestion d'inventaire et de tension fight-or-flee y trouveront leur bonheur.
As the city burns and the countryside is engulfed by the epidemic, the living are increasingly alone and forced to live with this new reality. Monstrous beasts and disfigured remnants roam freely with their numbers increasing rapidly, slaughtering everything in their path. In the opening chapter, Lydia finds herself separated from her fellow survivors and all alone. After fleeing into a large manor estate to escape the relentless horde, her only goal now is survival. She must explore the manor, locate supplies and find a way to wake from this nightmare. But somehow... she knows her fate is already sealed.
