About the Game

From the game's documentation:

You are in an old rundown cemetery at the edge of a Louisiana bayou, looking for the grave of your Aunt Bedilia. Can you bring back her locket? Or will you be thwarted by the secrets of the dead?

How It Begins

You play as an unnamed person, initially carrying nothing. You are standing outside a morgue. You are looking for your late Aunt Bedilla's locket to prove you're the legal heir to her fortune.

Notable Features

Zombies. In defiance of the title, most of the zombies in this game appear as unliving corpses who only move when your character isn't there watching them.
Repeated gambit. Quite often in this game, you'll be attacked by a zombie from behind and lose one of your inventory items. You will now have to find the item and the zombie who took it somewhere else.
