Zombie Night is a twin-stick shooter for up to 4 people.

The gameplay is divided into 2 main cycles: Day, to explore and upgrade, and Night, to defend your base against the hordes.

Daytime: Explore and Upgrade:
The group has a map where they can select a location to explore. Each location takes a set portion of your day and gives the player a set amount of time to search. As the nights progress and locations are explored, more locations will become available. Some areas may be small and can be investigated in a single go, others are larger and may take numerous trips to fully explore. While exploring, you're looking for supplies, such as ammo, upgrade materials, additional weapons, and pieces to a radio. When choosing to exit or when your exploration timer reaches 0, the group is returned to the base.
In the base, the party can use the supplies gathered to reinforce their base, set up traps/defenses, and prepare for the night horde.

Night has 1 objective: Survive
At night, the zombies are faster, stronger, and will relentlessly attack the player's base, attempting to reach the players inside. Fight off the horde, defend your base, and survive to see the dawn! The as more nights are survived, new undead may begin to rise and begin their assault against you!
