The Developer Says...

The world has fallen to the undead. But hope isn't lost — after years of research, brave scientists have discovered an antidote that can reverse zombification. The result? Zombie-human hybrids called humbies. Your mission: build a cutting-edge lab, cure the infected, and lead humanity back from the brink.

Build & Expand

Raise walls and fences to protect your scientists. Set up production lines to process materials, generate power, and support your growing facility. Efficient planning is key — every machine, room, and cable counts.

Manage & Optimize

Assign workers, prioritize tasks, and balance resources across day and night shifts. With four different worker types to manage, you’ll need smart planning to keep your lab running — and safe.

Research & Upgrade

Unlock over 200 technologies to advance through four tech tiers. Discover high-tier materials, develop advanced science equipment, and push closer to the final cure.

Capture & Cure

Use high-tech freezing guns to catch zombies and bring them in for treatment. Watch them transform into humbies — helpful hybrids ready to work. But be careful: neglect their needs, and they might rampage through your lab.

Defend & Survive

Each night brings waves of zombies. Build smart defenses, electrify your perimeter, and keep the hordes at bay. But beware: one blackout can undo everything.

Cure the World

Healing, not killing, is your path forward. Grow your workforce, manage their moods, and turn the tide of the apocalypse — one humbie at a time.
