About Zombie Ship
Zombie Ship is a survival horror RPG set aboard a haunted naval vessel. Deep Flame crafted this 2025 PC-exclusive title as a single-player journey blending tense combat and atmospheric storytelling. You play a sailor trapped on a cursed warship overrun by the undead, battling zombies while navigating decaying decks and solving environmental puzzles. The game emphasizes resource management and stealth, with the ocean’s chaos, like storms and floods, adding relentless pressure. Its core loop mixes action combat, exploration, and narrative choices. Perfect for fans of gritty survival tales, though its difficulty and pacing may polarize.
Gameplay
Zombie Ship tasks you with surviving waves of undead enemies while managing oxygen, health, and limited ammunition. Combat revolves around a revolver, melee weapons, and environmental traps, requiring you to dodge, shoot, and conserve resources. Each session involves backtracking through dimly lit corridors, scavenging supplies, and avoiding hostile hordes. The ship’s layout shifts dynamically, closing doors and flooding areas to force movement. Puzzles often involve restoring power or bypassing security systems, adding strategy to survival. Controls feel responsive but punishing, missing a shot or lagging in a fight means respawning. The game’s tension peaks during boss battles and sudden ambushes, demanding quick reflexes and careful planning.
