Walkthrough

Mansion

Your first objective is to find some clues. After speaking to Barry, go to the far door and through it. You will encounter your first zombie. Shoot it until it falls, then aim down and blast it again to make it stand up. Shoot it more to kill it. This zombie is Kenneth. Collect the clips and return to Barry.

A zombie will burst in; Barry will deal with it. Go to the Main Hall. Barry will give you a lock pick and directions. Go through the blue doors. In this room, move the steps next to the statue to collect the map. Move the desk away from the door and enter. There is a zombie on the floor; shoot it or boot its head off. Collect the ribbon on the shelf and exit.

Go through the other door. Down the corridor, a dog will burst through the window. Shoot it with 5-6 timed shots. Around the corner is another dog; kill it the same way and exit through the door.

The first door is a bathroom (ignore unless you are Chris, then drain the water and find a cabinet key). Continue down the corridor to two doors. The left door leads to a room with a shotgun. If you are Jill, enter and get it; Barry will save you from the trap. If you are Chris, do not enter yet.

Through the other door, you will meet two more zombies. Go through the Grey Door and kill the zombie by the stairs. Collect the green plant (use if injured). Through the next door is a save room with some ink ribbons and two clips. Save your game, dump the ribbon, collect the ink ribbons, and exit. Go up the stairs.

To your left, take out a zombie. Take out the other one behind you. Go through the door at the end of the corridor. Shoot the zombie and turn right into a small study. Examine the Botany book and leave. Head along the corridor; you will see a pair of green doors (cannot enter yet). Continue down the corridor, shoot another zombie, and find two more doors. Go through the unlocked door to return to the Main Hall.

Barry will meet you (Jill only) and give you bazooka ammo. Find the bazooka in the door next to the one you just came through, guarded by crows. Investigate the body to find the bazooka (Chris finds two clips). Don't kill the crows. Exit and go across the hall to the other door.

You are on the balcony above the Dining Room; kill the two zombies. Push the stone statue off the balcony and go through the far door. Kill two more zombies by some stairs, then go down the stairs. Kill two more zombies. Go through the door at the bottom of the stairs.

This is a save room. (If you are Chris, you meet Rebecca; if you say 'Yes', she prepares medicine that helps later. If you say 'No', she still prepares medicine but won't help later). Collect the ribbon on the bed (Chris gets a key) and save. Remember this room.

Exit and continue down the corridor, encountering another zombie. The door on your right contains a clip, shotgun shells, and a rusty shotgun (Chris needs this for the actual shotgun) but cannot be entered yet. Go through the other door, shoot the zombies, and head down the narrow corridor towards the plant room.

In this room, a plant blocks the key. Put the ink ribbon in the pump and collect the key. Use green plants if injured. Go back to the rusty shotgun room and collect the items (Chris uses the rusty shotgun to get the new shotgun). Go back through the doors and turn right.

Go through the door on your right to find a bedroom. Collect the clip on the bed. A zombie will burst out of the cupboard when you investigate the desk.
