Description
About This Game
In the wake of the zombie outbreak, you’re one of the last surviving humans—but survival comes at a cost. Imprisoned in a mansion’s cellar, you’ve been forced into the service of Toufic, the Gourmet Zombie. Once a bon vivant, Toufic is now a mort vivant with a refined taste for the macabre—and you’re his personal chef.
Every morning, 'Pig' pays you a visit. Skinny and gangly, he earned his nickname not from his weight, but from the huge nose that dominates his features. Like pigs trained to find truffles, he scours the outbreak-ravaged world for the newly infected, bringing them—and the tools you need—to the mansion.
Every decision matters:
Who you befriend among the trapped humans and your enigmatic sous chef.
Who you choose to serve as the next “ingredient” for Toufic’s gruesome dishes.
Which tools you use to prepare the meals—precision is key, but so is survival.
How you spend your time in the cellar, where every moment could be your last.
Navigate a web of gory twists and turns, where morality blurs and the stakes are life or death. With multiple endings and secrets to uncover, every playthrough offers new revelations and chilling outcomes. Will you become a master of macabre cuisine, outwit your captors, forge alliances, or end up as the next course on Toufic’s menu?
Gourmet Zombie is a chilling interactive fiction experience where your choices shape the story—and your fate. Just remember: in this kitchen, you’re either the chef… or the dish!
Note: Gourmet Zombie is the first game in our PBM series! PBM is a new system created by LCB to enrich narrative outcomes. Think of the dice-based mechanics from TTRPG or digital games like Citizen Sleeper… but with poker-based mechanics!
