Zombies, Run!/Tear Jerker

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Tearjerkers for the video game Zombies Run:

  • Mission Nine (A Voice In The Dark). To elaborate, the player character finds themself in the middle of zombie-infested territory in the middle of the night. However... the scanners are down, meaning that Sam Yao can't locate you. In fact, he doesn't even know if you're alive. While you're running for your life, Sam is quietly monologuing about how he came to Abel, how you might be the fourth Runner 5 he's let die and how he was just starting to consider you a friend. And, of course, you can't contact him at all.
  • Mission Eleven (Alternates). Oh god... You listen in on a recording that a doctor made for her girlfriend that is, ostensibly, explaining their futile efforts towards developing a cure or vaccine for the zombie plague. But it's mostly a farewell letter. Between the the farewells, the sobs of the recipient, and the realisation that every other doctor in the building is waiting for her to finish so they can make their own before the zombies burst in and... well... let's just say choking up while running makes it really hard to keep running.
