Walkthrough
Mansion
Your first objective is to find some clues. After speaking to Barry go to the far door and go through it. You should now meet your first zombie so arm your gun (or knife if you're feeling a bit handy) and shoot it down.
After a few shots it will fall down, but it isn't dead so aim down and blast it to make it stand up again and then shoot it some more. The body is Kenneth's, this is the first clue. Collect the clips and go back to talk to Barry. Barry will still be where you spoke to him (still 'examining' the blood).
A zombie will now burst in and Barry will take care of it automatically. Now go to the Main Hall. Barry will now give you a lock pick and tell you where to go next, so go through the blue doors. In this room are 2 moveable objects (a desk and some steps), move the steps next to the statue and collect the map, now move the desk away from the door and enter. Inside there is a zombie on the floor, you can either shoot him on the floor or have some fun and boot his head off (Chris crushes his head), 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 and head towards you. Stay calm and shoot him with timed shots, it takes 5-6 shots.
Around the corner is another dog, do the same thing to kill him 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 in it. If you are Jill then go inside and get it, it will trigger a trap but don't worry because 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 2 more zombies, if you are Jill you can get some good practise at blowing zombies heads off (aim high). 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 Earth and a chest with 2 clips inside.
Save the game using the ribbon you found and then dump it in the chest. Collect the Earth and then exit and go up the stairs. To your left will be a zombie, quickly take him 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, you cannot enter these yet so continue down the corridor. After shooting another zombie you should find another 2 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 2 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 2 zombies. After killing them push the stone statue off the balcony and go through the far door. You will find 2 more zombies by some stairs, kill them and then go down the stairs. 2 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 Earth 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 b
