Walkthrough

Mansion

Your first objective is to find some clues. After speaking to Barry, go to the far door and through it. You should now meet your first zombie. Arm your gun (or knife) and shoot it down. After a few shots, it will fall, but it isn't dead. Aim down and blast it to make it stand up again, then shoot it some more. The body is Kenneth's, which is the first clue. Collect the clips and go back to talk to Barry.

Barry will still be where you spoke to him. A zombie will now burst in, and Barry will take care of it automatically. Now go to the Main Hall. Barry will give you a lock pick and tell you where to go next, so go through the blue doors. In this room are two movable objects: a desk and some steps. Move the steps next to the statue and collect the map. Move the desk away from the door and enter. Inside, there is a zombie on the floor. You can shoot it or boot its head off. Collect the ribbon on the shelf and exit.

Now go through the other door. As you walk down the corridor, a dog will burst through the window. Stay calm and shoot it with timed shots; it takes 5-6 shots. Around the corner is another dog; do the same to kill it and exit through the door. The first door you see is a bathroom; ignore it (unless you are Chris, in which case you should drain the water and find a cabinet key). Carry on down the corridor and you will come across two doors. The door on your left leads to a room with a shotgun. If you are Jill, go inside and get it; it will trigger a trap, but Barry will save you. If you are playing Chris, don't go in this room yet as you will be killed by the trap.

Going through the other door, you will meet two more zombies. If you are Jill, you can get some good practice at blowing zombies' heads off. Go through the Grey Door and kill the zombie by the stairs. Collect the green plant and use it if you have been hurt. Going through the door, you will find a save room containing some ink ribbons and a chest with two clips inside. Save the game using the ribbon you found and then dump it in the chest. Collect the ink ribbon and then exit and go up the stairs. To your left will be a zombie; quickly take it out, and then take out the other one behind you. Now go through the door at the end of the corridor.

Shoot the zombie and turn right into a small study. Examine the Botany book and then leave. Head along the corridor; you should see a pair of green doors, but you cannot enter them yet, so continue down the corridor. After shooting another zombie, you should find another two doors; go through the unlocked door. You are now back in the Main Hall. Barry will meet you (Jill only) and give you some bazooka ammo. Now you have to find the bazooka. The bazooka is being guarded by some vicious crows in the door next to the one you just came through. Investigate the body and you will find the bazooka (Chris will find two clips). Don't bother killing the crows as they are a pain to kill. Exit and go across the hall to the other door.

You are now on the balcony above the Dining Room; there are two zombies. After killing them, push the stone statue off the balcony and go through the far door. You will find two more zombies by some stairs; kill them and then go down the stairs. Two more zombies await you, so be ready. Go through the door at the bottom of the stairs. Inside is a save room with a chest. (If you are Chris, you meet Rebecca for the first time; she will volunteer to help you. If you say 'Yes,' she will prepare some medicine for you, which is handy as Chris has it quite tough and helps you out later in the game. If you say 'No,' she will prepare some medicine but won't help you out later in the game). Collect the ribbon on the bed (Chris gets a key) and save.

Remember this room as it is important later in the game. Exit this room and continue down the corridor, encountering another zombie. The door on your right contains a clip, shotgun shells, and a rusty shotgun (Chris needs this to get the shotgun) but can't be entered yet. Go through the other door, shoot the zombies, and head down the narrow corridor towards the plant room. In this room is a nasty plant which won't let you near the key behind it. To kill it, put the ink ribbon in the pump and then collect the key behind it. Use the green plants if you have been injured. Now go back to the rusty shotgun room and collect the items (Chris has to use the rusty shotgun to get the new shotgun). Now go back through the doors and turn right.

Go through the door on your right, and you will find a bedroom. On the bed is a clip. Upon investigation of the desk, a zombie will burst out of the cupboard and try to eat you. Show him who's boss.
