Tips
  • Aiming for the head is effective for killing zombies, especially for Jill.
  • If playing as Chris, be cautious about entering the shotgun room early, as it's a trap.
  • The green plants can be used to heal injuries.
  • Save your game frequently in the save rooms.
  • Don't waste ammo on the crows guarding the bazooka; they are difficult to kill.
