You Are the Dinner

You Are the Dinner is a procedural, mission-based zombie shooter set during a biological World War III. You play a young soldier carrying out duties for their military unit while helping people who can still protect themselves from the virus that turns people into aggressive predators. Missions take you through streets overrun by zombies, where you must plan your route and decide when to seek help from survivors or military forces.

Fear and survival

The soldier’s fear affects how you handle weapons. As zombie hordes approach, your hands can tremble, making it difficult to aim or fire; losing control and firing wildly can quickly waste your limited ammunition. Wounds affect different body parts in different ways, and zombies can bite different parts of your body. The game also has an advanced weapon mechanism and bullets that pierce bodies.

Missions and support

You can seek help from army units, planes, gunships and survivors. Survivors you have helped may come to your aid, while pilots can attack zombies from the air. Army units also fight in cities overrun by zombies. Your choices and planning determine whether you can complete missions and escape the hordes.

Loot and progression

Missions include loot and trading. Loot comes in different rarities, and items are described as infinite in number, with each one different and unique. Special mod items can alter your abilities, weapon, armor and trade system. You can trade looted items for new skills and ammunition, and use various skills to help you survive.

Saves and death

The game includes a checkpoint save system, but death deletes your save file.
