Tips
  • There are many GREEN HERBS in the VINE ROOM area. It is suggested to only take them when you are low on healing supplies, as they will still be there later when the area becomes a Hunter festival.
  • If you encounter too many zombies in the Z HALL, you can take the FAR LEFT STAIRS to reach the UPPER DINING ROOM via the MAIN HALL.
  • In the KENNETH ROOM, you can shoot the zombie if you have HANDGUN ammo, or avoid it.
  • In the BEDROOM, you may need a DAGGER KNIFE to deal with the attacking zombie.
