Undying

Game has been added to your Wishlist

In Undying, you control Anling, a mother infected by a zombie bite who is trying to keep her young son Cody safe in a zombie-infested world. Her goal is to prepare him to survive after she turns, while protecting him and managing the needs of both mother and child. The story centers on their journey together as Anling’s time and ability to teach him are running out.

Anling’s infection shapes the urgency of the journey: she must make the most of her remaining time to pass on essential knowledge before her abilities fade. Cody learns from what she does, and the relationship can shift as he becomes more capable and Anling may need his help.
