A prologue to a zombie tale, July 12, 2025

The protagonist is going through the motions in his very ordinary life and thinking about a certain someone. But soon, things go downhill as he notices the beginning of a zombie apocalypse taking place right before his eyes.

The black and white color scheme works, but the red arrows which function as ‘next’ buttons (and the red choice text) were pretty hard to see on my phone screen. The story is largely linear, but you get a little choice at the very end as the reality of the zombie situation quickly bears down on you. You do meet up with your certain someone and try to stick together and survive, but there is little interaction with him during the plot, which is probably understandable given the 500 word limit.

It’s okay for a short read. Still, it feels just like the start of a story which just got cut off.
