Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
You were forced to kill your family friend. Your own wife and child have become ravenous, flesh-eating ghouls, as have thousands of people across the West. Once serene (well, for the most part) settlements have become fortresses against the shambling hordes, their residents dwindling in numbers. Ammo, as well as allies, are scarce. And you've got to set out into the deadly, zombie-filled land to find a cure and possibly save who you can. And those animals that gave you such a hard time in Red Dead Redemption? They're zombies now.
Some of the random events you can come across are pretty unsettling. From a group of undead devouring a pile of corpses, civilians transforming right before your eyes, deranged cannibals who invite you for a "bite" and turn their guns on you if you decline, and more. One of the more disturbing ones is coming across a sobbing man sitting next to a dead man, likely a friend or relative. The dead man rises as an undead and the living man is forced to shoot him...right before turning the gun on himself.
