Deadlight: Director's Cut
Randall Wayne searches a ruined 1986 Seattle for his family, moving through a side-scrolling landscape of silhouettes, obstacles and undead shadows. Deadlight asks you to read the environment as carefully as the enemies:
ZOMBI
An infected London becomes a tense network of streets, rooms and underground passages where supplies feel worth protecting. ZOMBI makes death part of its structure: a new survivor can attempt to recover the previous char
The Black Masses
An enormous crowd of infected turns exploration into a tense study of distance, terrain, and escape routes.

Rick Grimes and familiar comic characters enter The Escapists' world of routines, scavenged objects, and carefully prepared escape plans. Moving through locations from The Walking Dead, you protect a survivor group while
Mars — the ultimate off-world what-if
Elon Musk’s SpaceX is pursuing the long-term ambition of a human presence on Mars. For OZomb, that inspires an irresistible thought experiment: leave the entire zombie planet behind. This is a speculative setting, not an
George A. Romero
Romero made the modern screen zombie a vehicle for social tension. His Dead films turn fragile cooperation and everyday institutions into horror.
Dan O'Bannon
O’Bannon brought punk humor and unruly undead energy to The Return of the Living Dead. His film helped establish a different strain of zombie comedy.
Brian Yuzna
Yuzna directed Return of the Living Dead 3 and produced Re-Animator. His work brings practical-effects invention and body horror to stories of reanimation.
Stuart Gordon
Gordon directed Re-Animator, a landmark of grotesque reanimation horror. Its dark comedy and practical effects make scientific ambition feel dangerously uncontrolled.
Lucio Fulci
Fulci directed Zombi 2 and The Beyond. His films helped give Italian zombie horror its dreamlike dread and striking practical-effects imagery.
Joe McKinney
McKinney drew on his work in law enforcement to give Dead City its close view of a police officer caught in an outbreak. His zombie fiction combines disaster pressure, practical survival, and responsibility to others.
Dario Argento
Argento helped bring Romero's Dawn of the Dead to the screen and shaped its European version, released as Zombi. That collaboration connects the modern American zombie film with Italian horror's distinctive editing, musi
