Dead Rising

Dead Rising - Photojournalist Frank West comes to a city where the shopping center is closed and the streets are filled with zombies. He is not going to save anyone: he is interested in personnel for which they will pay, the rest is not his concern. Some tasks appear only at certain hours, so the daily routine should be thought through in advance. Time works against the player here: there is a certain period of time left before the military arrives, and during this time you need to find materials for a sensation. Over and over again you have to start from the beginning, because death resets everything except the player’s knowledge. Photos are assessed according to three criteria: scandalousness, drama and the number of characters in the frame. The riskier the shot, the higher the reward, and for the sake of a rare shot you have to go into the thick of it. Saved people sometimes provide useful information or items, and sometimes die due to delay. Everything that comes to hand serves as a weapon: a baseball bat, a cart, a chainsaw, an umbrella. Supplies are collected anywhere, and everyday items sometimes make unexpected combinations. At the same time, you have to pull survivors out of trouble and deal with psychos who are busy with their games. Shots with them are most valuable, but taking such a risk with a camera is a separate art. Weapons are assembled from household appliances, and you can combine items on the go. The project requires patience: the first attempts go poorly, but by the third attempt the route is already built perfectly. Anyone who loves sandboxes with a time limit and doesn't mind starting over after a mistake.
