Walkthrough
Mansion
Your first objective is to find some clues. After speaking to Barry, go to the far door and proceed through it. You will encounter your first zombie; arm your weapon and shoot it. After it falls, aim down and shoot it again to make it stand up, then shoot it more. This zombie is Kenneth's body, serving as the first clue. Collect the clips and return to Barry. A zombie will burst in, and Barry will handle it. Proceed to the Main Hall. Barry will give you a lock pick and direct you. Go 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, there's a zombie on the floor; you can shoot it or boot its head off. Collect the ribbon and exit.
Go through the other door. 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 on your left is a bathroom (ignore it unless you are Chris, then drain the water for 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 meet two more zombies. Aim high to blow off their heads if playing as Jill. Go through the Grey Door and kill the zombie by the stairs. Collect the green plant for healing. Through the next door is a save room with some ink ribbons and a chest containing 2 clips. Save your game and store items. Collect the ink ribbon and exit, then 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 study. Examine the Botany book and leave. Head along the corridor; you'll see a pair of green doors you can't enter yet. Continue down the corridor, shoot another zombie, and find two more doors. Enter the unlocked door to return to the Main Hall. Barry will meet you (Jill only) and give you bazooka ammo. Find the bazooka in the door next to yours, guarded by crows. Investigate the body to find the bazooka (Chris finds 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 two more zombies by some stairs, then go down. Two more zombies await. Go through the door at the bottom of the stairs. This is a save room. (If you are Chris, Rebecca will offer help; accepting prepares medicine for you. Declining still prepares medicine but without later assistance). Collect the ribbon on the bed (Chris gets a key) and save. Remember this room.
Exit and continue down the corridor, encountering another zombie. The door on your right contains items (clip, shotgun shells, rusty shotgun for Chris) but cannot be entered yet. Go through the other door, shoot the zombies, and head down the narrow corridor towards the plant room. In this room, a plant blocks access to a key. Put the Earth into the pump to kill the plant and collect the key. Use green plants for healing. Return to the rusty shotgun room and collect items (Chris uses the rusty shotgun to get the new shotgun). Go back through the doors and turn right.
Go through the door on your right into a bedroom. On the bed is a clip. Investigating the desk will cause a zombie to burst from the cupboard.
