Expected 2026 First-person zombie runner
Dead Man’s Mile
Fog, silhouettes and glowing eyes: the frontier of the 1880s, and the dead are right behind you. Run, and keep them off. One more mile.
The game About
The dead don’t tire. Neither can you.
The frontier, the 1880s. Something has risen out of the fog, and it is coming your way. Run through foggy fields, moonlit pines, the bayou and the snow, and keep the dead off with a revolver, a repeating lever rifle, a machete and a few sticks of dynamite.
When they catch up, dig in: hold the barricades for a last stand, or climb the town wall and let the Gatling do the talking. Then run again. One more mile.
Dead Man’s Mile is built in Unity and played with the phone on its side, for big, cinematic first-person views on a small screen.
