Walkthrough
Mansion
Your first objective is to find some clues. After speaking to Barry, go through the far door. You will encounter your first zombie; shoot it down. After it falls, shoot it again to make it stand up and then shoot it more. This is Kenneth's body, the first clue. Collect the clips and return to Barry.
A zombie will burst in, and Barry will deal with it. Go to the Main Hall. Barry will give you a lock pick and tell you where to go next. 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. Inside, there is a zombie on the floor; you can shoot it or boot its head off. Collect the ribbon on the shelf and exit.
Go through the other door. As you walk down the corridor, a dog will burst through the window; shoot it with timed shots (5-6 shots). Around the corner is another dog; kill it and exit through the door. The first door is a bathroom; ignore it (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, get it; Barry will save you from the trap. If you are Chris, do not enter yet.
Through the other door, you will meet 2 more zombies. Go through the Grey Door and kill the zombie by the stairs. Collect the green plant and use it if injured. Go through the next door to find a save room with some Earth and a chest with 2 clips. Save the game, dump the ribbon in the chest, collect the Earth, and exit. Go up the stairs.
To your left is a zombie; take it out, then the 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 to a pair of green doors; you cannot enter yet. Continue down the corridor, shoot another zombie, and find two more doors. Go through the unlocked door. You are back in 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 2 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 2 zombies. Push the stone statue off the balcony and go through the far door. Kill the 2 zombies by the stairs and go down. Kill 2 more zombies and 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' to her help, she prepares medicine and assists you 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.
Exit this room 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 to get the 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 is a plant blocking the key. Put the Earth in the pump, then collect the key. Use the 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. On the bed is a clip. Investigate the desk, and a zombie will burst out of the cupboard.
