Overview
Description

Take command of your mercenary forces as the zombie apocalypse erupts. Your mission is to coordinate evacuations, protect survivors, and keep the undead at bay before they overwhelm the city. The game blends strategic planning with real‑time action, offering both solo and cooperative modes. Its quirky horror‑comedy tone and retro pixel art give a fresh twist to tactical indie gaming.

Trapped Dead drops you into a gritty early‑80s Midwest town overrun by a genetically engineered virus. Control two college students and a cast of survivors in isometric, real‑time tactical missions as you battle hordes of the infected. The game blends classic Commandos‑style planning with horror‑movie atmosphere, offering both solo and cooperative play. Its story‑driven scenarios and tense zombie encounters keep the tension high from start to finish.
