Game Description

The Curers is a fast-paced, level-based FPS blending action and strategy. Players must cure infected zombies, tackle escalating challenges, and manage scarce resources to survive. Each level tests adaptability and decision-making.

Key Features:

• Dynamic Zombie Threats: Combat requires quick reflexes and tactical movement.
• Resource Management: Supplies are limited—players must gain and spend resources wisely.
• Safe House Economy: Purchase items between levels to progress forward in the game
• High Stakes Survival: Heal the zombies and reach the evacuation point to win. Failure costs resources and rewards.

Infection Mechanic:

• Escalating Threat: Infection levels intensify every 30 seconds, demanding swift action.
• Antidote Use: Cure zombies by administering antidotes under strict conditions (close range, health < 50%). Misuse wastes resources.
