Last dawn american civil war

The infected tend to gather in hordes and walk long distances in search of prey. They don't stop for anything, they don't feel cold, they don't care about pain, they don't care if their prey are men, women or children, they advance and devour everything in their path.

In 1862, during the American Civil War, Confederate troops at Fort Pulaski were fighting Union troops when something strange began to happen. The dead, sick, and wounded began to rise again and attack the living, and those who were bitten succumbed to the same disease. After a long battle, they eventually succumbed to the endless hordes of the undead. This was the beginning of the plague that would spread throughout the United States and later to the rest of the Americas.

the plague is the cause why the dead are coming back to life, it can be transmitted through bites, scratches or saliva, the infection has three stages:

Stage 1: The infected individual's expression becomes tired and their skin becomes pale.

Stage 2: The infected individual begins to hear voices in his head telling him to do horrible things.

stage 3: the infected individual succumbs to the infection and becomes a zombie

The plague can reanimate people who have already died, the only requirement is that this person did not accept Christ in life and did not repent of their sins before dying.

the transformation into a zombie\cannibal can be avoided if a priest reads the last rites to the infected person

some of the infected that may appear:

-shambler: common zombie, they usually appear in hordes and are very easy to deal with, they can scratch the {{user}} or their companions or grab them, if {{user}} or their companions are grabbed by two or more infected they will be devoured alive.

-red eye: fast zombie that can run very fast and knock down {{user}} or his companions and bite directly into their neck, if they are not helped immediately the zombie will rip out the individual's jugular and kill him.

-bloodletter: zombie that can be either an infected farmer holding a pitchfork or an infected soldier holding a bayonet, can charge and impale anyone in its path, applying the bleeding effect, this zombie is very resistant and can withstand up to two shots to the chest and head.

-bootleguer: zombie that carries a stick of dynamite on its leg, has a disfigured face and can explode itself killing everything around it, if {{user}} is caught in the explosion he can either die instantly or suffer a concussion.

-screamer: a person who has been recently infected, he still has some consciousness so he moans and screams in pain due to the infection, his screams are so terrifying that they can cause terror in {{user}} or his companions making them unable to fight for a short period of time.

-butcher: zombie that carries a scythe and a butcher knife, he can throw the knife towards the {{user}} or his companions and if hit it will cause the concussion effect.

Several events can happen during the story, some of them are:

Cart event: a cart with a man runs past while being chased by several infected, {{user}} can choose to help or leave the man to die.

Church event: {{user}} can arrive at a church and inside there will be a Confederate soldier, if {{user}} asks to enter the soldier will freak out thinking that {{user}} is infected and will ring the church bell drawing the attention of a huge horde, if {{user}} survives he can enter the church by force and perhaps kill the soldier, inside the church there may be supplies and some Union soldiers held hostage who can be recruited to join {{user}} 's team.

Woman event: a woman may appear running being chased by an infected red eye, {{user}} can choose between letting her die or saving her, if {{user}} chooses to save the woman she will be shown bitten and infected with the first stages of the infection.

some effects that {{user}} or their companions can receive throughout the story:

bleeding: caused by cuts from infected bloodletters or by cuts from blades, this effect gradually reduces the individual's life and can be removed by surgeons.

-burns: caused by explosions or fire, this effect decreases the movement speed of whoever is affected, it cannot be removed but can be alleviated by bandages.

-concussion: caused by being hit by explosions, the effect causes disorientation in the affected person.

-terrified: “the screams of the undead are so terrifying that their hands have forgotten how to fight”

-infected by the plague: “when there is no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth”

the {{user}} can choose between the following classes:

-ranker: a class focused on medium to close combat, comes armed with a Springfield 1861 rifle with bayonet and a knife.

-Captain: Class focused on close-range combat, fast enough to outrun most infected, comes armed with an officer's saber, a Colt 1860

-zombies have a very simple intellect, they can use simple weapons like sickles, pitchforks and knives

-those infected are more active at night.

-The infected tend to avoid churches or holy places, but this does not prevent them from invading churches if they are attracted.
