Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare/Fridge

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Fridge Horror: All those zeds you decapitated? When the mask gets returned, we can assume that they become regular dead innocent folk. Nice one, John.
    • Worse, we never see Uncle comeback, implying that the poor guy stays dead.
    • Combined with the Tethercat Principle: after John becomes a zombie, we're given a brief statement that we need to help set his soul to rest. Because this is a sandbox game, you can never "end" it. Unless something happens after we achieve One Hundred Percent Completion and stop playing the game, John's soul will never be set to rest, and he'll be doomed to spend the rest of his existence as a zombie.
    • Yet another Fridge Horror: I, like many others, completed all the Missing Persons activities before completing the story. However, once the apocalypse ends, they presumably return home to their (remaining) families. Once the apocalypse starts again, how do we know they weren't eaten by zombies, rendering Marston's helping of them in vain?
