Dead Streets is a GPS based game that turns your neighborhood into a Pac-Man arena. Using real OpenStreetMap data and your device GPS, you move through actual streets while dodging zombie swarms that pathfind along real roads. The game doesn't feel like exercise because you're too busy surviving. Two game modes. Regular mode is pure arcade: dodge zombies, collect supplies, survive. Survival mode adds depth: food and water deplete daily, build structures at your base, recruit NPCs, turn your streets into a tower defense game that keeps you coming back. Every activity generates a story. You didn't just ride five miles. You fought twelve zombies on Oak Street, built a farm near the park, rescued an NPC downtown. Customize zombie speed to match your play style. Walk casually or go hard. The game scales with you. Pause whenever you want. No punishment for stopping. Just movement, strategy, and the constant push to explore one more block. The real magic: you're actually outside moving. In your own neighborhood. You're not thinking about how much longer you need to go. You're too distracted trying to avoid the zombies. Works anywhere with OpenStreetMap coverage, which is most places. Tested on modern iPhones. Designed for outdoor movement. No network required after maps download. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
