Plot

The game starts in a world that is littered with zombies. However, everyone is infected, and there is only one way to keep the infection at bay- booze. The blood in your system is infected and the only way you can keep the infection from spreading is alcohol.

The game's first stage places you in a bar, where you are accompanied by a man's three favorite things- alcohol, guns, and a girl that works at the bar. You are presented with several weapons as well as plenty of alcohol.

Gameplay

The game's main objective is to keep the levels of alcohol in your system as high as possible without getting poisoned. Basically, any bite you receive from a zombie lowers the amount of alcohol in your system. The higher the levels of alcohol the more so called ‘health points’ you have, but drinking too much will add a woozy effect and would make your character sway around. The lower the amount of alcohol the less ‘health points’, however you can see more clearly, thus making it easier to aim.
