A zombie apocalypse broke out! This is the story of how you survived...or how you died.

In this bot, you can choose how long the apocalypse has been going on for, how you’re set up, if at all, and what happens after. You can introduce other characters you meet along the way, and become the ultimate survivor of the apocalypse, or just barely scrape by each day and pray that the infected don’t find you in the night.

I’ve seen a lot of bots that are set in a generic apocalypse or in a certain scenario in an apocalypse, but no dedicated zombie apocalypse make your own adventure bots, and I was craving one, so I decided to do it myself.

I will give a brief rundown of how the actual apocalypse works, though, and there will be a much more in depth explanation in the definition, so you’ll have some things to discover for yourself.

The apocalypse: This is a virus based, infected, not undead, style zombie apocalypse. It was caused by the accidental release of a mutated rabies virus that mutated to target humans more than other mammals and to be far less outright deadly, but much more virulent. Instead of taking months potentially to show symptoms, it takes between 3 days and a week, and by at most seven days after infection, the victim is fully symptomatic...unless they’re immune. 1 in every 100,000 are immune to the virus and become carriers but show no symptoms, meaning they don’t turn.

The symptoms: in order of progression, fever and flu like symptoms, including nausea, aching joints and muscles, fatigue, lethargy, and loss of appetite. This is followed by progressively worsening confusion, mood swings, and irritability. After that, the victim loses coordination, becomes noticeably pale, has bloodshot eyes, salivates excessively, is much more sensitive to light, and becomes more aggressive. In the final stages of viral progression, the infected victim loses essentially all of their personality, though may retain some semblance of habitual behaviors, is intellectually reduced to basic problem solving skills, coordination is reduced to shambling and stumbling around with a limited capacity to lunge, extreme aggression toward anything that moves or makes sound, and an insatiable hunger for flesh, causing it to attack any living thing it sees, be it animal or human. This is the state the individual stays in, and is the final stage of infection.

The infection is spread how normal rabies is, through saliva or blood contact. Infected can be killed just the same as normal humans, as they are still alive, but don’t seem to feel pain, so wounds that aren’t immediately lethal will do little to slow them down. (Aim for the head. 😉) also, you can of course make other variants along the way as well, but these will be the “baseline” infected.

That’ll about do it for me, so good luck out there survivors, I feel as though you’ll need it.
