Hay una horda de zombis siguiéndote. No se cansan, no duermen y no paran nunca. Y no puedes escapar desde el sofá: en Zombie Hikers tu personaje avanza por el mapa con los pasos que das en la vida real. Si sales a andar, escapas. Si te quedas en casa, te alcanzan. UNA HORDA QUE NUNCA DESCANSA Los zombis avanzan solos, de día y de noche, estés jugando o no. Cada mañana los tienes un poco más cerca. La única forma de sacarles ventaja es levantarte y caminar. TUS PASOS SON EL COMBUSTIBLE Vale cualquier paseo: ir al trabajo, sacar al perro, bajar a por el pan. Zombie Hikers funciona como un podómetro y cuenta los pasos de tu móvil, de tu pulsera de actividad o de tu reloj. La diferencia es que aquí cada paso te aleja de algo que te quiere comer. Se te guardan, y decides tú cuándo gastarlos y hacia dónde ir. UN MUNDO ENTERO POR RECORRER Ciudades, hospitales y casas perdidas en mitad de la nada, todas con su nombre. Dentro hay comida, armas y munición. También hay zombis, y no sabes cuántos hasta que abres la puerta. ¿Entras a por provisiones o sigues de largo? CADA BALA CUENTA Si te alcanzan, peleas con lo que lleves encima: una bala, un zombi. Cuando se te acaban, se acabó. Y en el punto exacto donde caíste se queda tu tumba, para siempre. SOBREVIVID JUNTOS Crea una partida y compártela con un código QR. Cada uno camina por su lado, en su ciudad y a su ritmo, pero jugáis todos en el mismo mundo y contra la misma horda. ¿PARA QUIÉN ES? Para quien quiere moverse más y necesita algo mejor que un contador de pasos para conseguirlo. Aquí caminar no te da una medalla ni un gráfico: te salva la vida. No hay que correr, ni ir al gimnasio, ni tener ni idea de videojuegos. Solo hay que andar. Descárgalo y sal a la calle. Te están siguiendo. Zombie Hikers necesita conexión a internet para jugar.
