Damn,ZombiesThe Corporate Undead

Damn, Zombies is a first-person online multiplayer zombie survival game for one to four players. You hold a fenced corporate office compound against an endless horde of undead office staff. Killing them pays points, and points buy weapons, ammunition, doors deeper into the building, permanent upgrades and pulls on a mystery crate. Rounds get harder without end: there is no win condition, and the run ends when the survivors do.

Yes. The full title is Damn, Zombies: The Corporate Undead. Damn Zombies is the same name without its comma. If you searched for “Corperate Undead”, that is a common misspelling of “The Corporate Undead” and refers to this game too.

Both work. It is online multiplayer for up to four players with a dedicated lobby server — lobbies are named after two-word office objects, so you read out something like RUSTY-STAPLER to your friends. It is also entirely playable solo, and solo is not a reduced mode: the same map, the same economy and the same rounds. The crowd grows with the table — 1.8 times a solo run at two players, 2.4 at three and 3.2 at four, so each of four personally faces 80% of what a lone survivor does. Only the boss rounds scale in health rather than in numbers, from +25% solo to +52% at four.

Killing the undead pays points. Five weapons are chalked up on the perimeter fence between 750 and 3,500 points. Eight interior doors cost 2,500 each and are the only purchase that hands you nothing — what they buy is somewhere to go, and they open once, for everybody, permanently. Seven perk vending machines cost 7,500 each, one of each per survivor ever. The LOST & FOUND crate costs 950 a pull.

Seven vending machines at 7,500 points each, spread across the compound. Headhunter Programme stands on the main car park ground floor and unlocks ADS aim assist, headshot focus and 1.5× headshot points. Speed Boost gives +20% movement, Health Boost +20% maximum health, Fanny Pack doubles reserve ammunition on every gun, Performance Bonus adds +25% weapon damage, Just-In-Time halves every reload, and Ninja Certification carries a third weapon — a melee weapon on your back, on top of the two in your hands, swung on its own key without putting your gun down — for 20% more melee damage. The plate reads FITTED once you have bought one.

A wheeled road case stencilled UNCLAIMED PROPERTY, 950 points a pull. Eleven weapons can come out of it. Before weapons you already hold are excluded, Synergy Beam and IT Hard Reset each have a 1-in-60 chance (about 1.67%), HR Cold Shoulder has a 2.5% chance, ordinary weapons share the remaining weapon chance, and the troll has 5%. The troll raises a hand, shuts the box and relocates it. Your held weapons change the remaining odds.

Eighteen weapon definitions. Five are sold at wall mounts around the compound — the Fire Safety Axe at 750 points, Security Pistol at 1,500, Exec Revolver at 2,500, Nail Gun at 2,000 and Swag Blaster at 3,500. Eleven are LOST & FOUND crate prizes, now including HR Cold Shoulder, IT Hard Reset and the Boardroom Carbine, Motion Carried. The Golf Club and Employee of the Year trophy are not sold or in the current crate pool.

Three things, and never off an Employee. HR and the Middle Manager leave something 15.5% of the time and the Executive 28%, and what it turns out to be depends on which of them it was: HR is the stationery cupboard (9% a supply crate), the Middle Manager signs things off (7% a commission medal, the highest in the game) and the corner office is where the money is (15% a company credit, better than three times anybody else). So each of the three is worth going to look for on a different body. A supply crate fills every gun every survivor is carrying, magazine and reserve, wherever they are standing. A company credit takes half off weapons, perks and doors and 70% off ammunition and crate pulls for sixty seconds, and stands a crate on every spot in the compound while it runs. A commission medal doubles what every hit and every kill pays. A body leaves one of them or nothing, never two, and they pay the whole team rather than whoever picked them up. The first two reward patience and the medal punishes it: it pays for thirty seconds if you get to it where it landed and eight if you take it as it blinks out.

Difficulty is the round number. Every zombie's health is multiplied by 1 + 0.1 × (round − 1), and the size of the horde and how much of it runs climb alongside it. Rounds 7, 15 and 23 are boss rounds with their own fixed rosters. From round 24 ordinary rounds start carrying one to three of those same bodies as elites, rising to three by round 36.

Beta downloads are available for Windows, Linux (x86_64), and macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon). The game is built in Godot 4.5. An internet connection and a free account with an activation key are required, including for solo beta play.

Yes. Runs are ranked by the highest round reached, with total gold earned and then shorter run time breaking ties. Dying during round 18 records as a round-18 run. Solo and squad-size boards are separate. The run-over screen highlights your best position, or your team's, with nearby entries even if the latest run did not improve it.
