Contagion
Contagion is a survival horror first-person shooter video game developed and published by American independent studio Monochrome. It is the spiritual successor to Zombie Panic! Source. The game was mostly self-funded of its development, but with the support of others via a successful Kickstarter campaign, it was able to be released on Steam as an Early Access title. Contagion released on October 25, 2013 as a Steam Early Access title and was published as full release on April 11, 2014.
The game is set in a world that has been overrun by a zombie virus. Players can choose to play as either a human survivor or a zombie. Human survivors must work together to escape from the zombies, while zombies must hunt down and infect the survivors.
The game features three different game modes:
- Hunted: A free-for-all deathmatch mode in which players fight each other, while A.I.-controlled zombies wander the level and serve as an environmental hazard. When a player is killed, they respawn as a zombie. The goal of the game is to be the last living player.
- Escape: A cooperative mode in which players must work together to escape from a zombie-infested area. The goal of the game is to reach the extraction point before the zombies overwhelm the players.
- Extraction: A cooperative mode in which players must work together to extract civilians from a zombie-infested area. The goal of the game is to reach the extraction point with all of the civilians alive.
The game also features a beta game mode called Flatline, which is a survival mode in which players must survive for as long as possible against waves of zombies.
