Walkthrough

Mansion

Your first objective is to find some clues. After speaking to Barry, go through the far door. You will encounter your first zombie; shoot it until it falls, then aim down and shoot it again to kill it permanently. This zombie is Kenneth J. P. (the first clue). Collect the clips and return to Barry. A zombie will burst in, and Barry will deal with it. Proceed to the Main Hall. Barry will give you a lock pick and direct you through the blue doors. In this room, move the steps next to the statue to collect the map, then move the desk away from the door and enter. Inside, you'll find a zombie on the floor; you can shoot it or boot its head off. Collect the ink ribbon on the shelf and exit.

Go through the other door. As you walk down the corridor, a dog will burst through the window; shoot it with 5-6 timed shots. Around the corner is another dog; repeat the process. The first door you see is a bathroom; ignore it (unless you are Chris, then drain the water and find a cabinet key). Continue down the corridor to two doors. The left door leads to a room with a shotgun. If you are Jill, enter and get it; Barry will save you from the trap. If you are Chris, do not enter yet.

Through the other door, you'll face two more zombies. Go through the Grey Door and kill the zombie by the stairs. Collect the green herb and use it if injured. Enter the next door to find a save room with some ink ribbons and two clips in a chest. Save your game and exit. Go up the stairs. To your left, take out a zombie, then another behind you. 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 leave. Head along the corridor, past the green doors (inaccessible yet). After shooting another zombie, you'll find two more doors. Enter the unlocked one to return to the Main Hall. Barry will meet you (Jill only) and give you bazooka ammo. You need to find the bazooka, guarded by crows in the door next to where you just came out. Investigate the body to find the bazooka (Chris finds two clips). Don't kill the crows. Exit and go across the hall to the other door.

You are now on the balcony above the Dining Room; kill the two zombies. Push the stone statue off the balcony and go through the far door. Kill the two zombies by the stairs and go down. Kill two more zombies, then go through the door at the bottom of the stairs. This is a save room. (If you are Chris, Rebecca will offer to help; accepting prepares medicine for you. If you decline, she still prepares medicine but won't help later). Collect the ink ribbon on the bed (Chris gets a key) and save.

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 regular shotgun) but cannot be entered yet. Go through the other door, shoot the zombies, and head down the narrow corridor towards the plant room.

In the plant room, a plant blocks access to a key. Put the
