The zombie apocalypse has arrived, and with it, a harrowing tale of maternal sacrifice and desperate survival in UNDYING on console.
UNDYING, developed by Vanimals and published by Skystone Games (they previously behind Spacelines from the Far Out), is making its way to Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch, bringing its unique blend of survival, crafting, and narrative choice to a wider audience.
Previously released on PC, UNDYING now offers console players a chance to experience Anling’s desperate struggle to protect her son, Cody, in a world overrun by the undead. It is priced at £16.74, as an emotional and challenging journey promises a gripping experience where every choice matters.
A Race Against Time, and the Undead
UNDYING places you in the worn shoes of Anling, a mother caught in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. Infected herself, Anling faces a ticking clock, knowing her time is limited. Her sole focus is ensuring Cody’s safety, teaching him the skills necessary to survive in this brutal new reality.
The game explores the complex relationship between mother and son, showcasing the sacrifices Anling is willing to make to give Cody a chance at life.
Your Choices, Your Story: A World Shaped by Decisions
UNDYING emphasises player choice, with decisions impacting the narrative and shaping the fates of those Anling and Cody encounter. The world is filled with other survivors, each with their own stories, secrets, and motivations. Some may become allies, offering aid and companionship, while others may prove to be dangerous and untrustworthy.
How Anling and Cody navigate these encounters will determine not only their own survival but also the fate of others. Will you choose to help those in need, even at great personal risk? Or will you prioritise self-preservation, potentially leading to devastating consequences? The choices are yours, and the ending you experience will be a direct reflection of your actions.
But just remember, survival is paramount in UNDYING…
