Rampant Zombies takes place in Chicago in the very near future. For a detailed map of the area to make the game make a little more sense please visit this site.
Five years ago, humans discovered the secret to eternal life and created a vaccine that would enable anyone that had it to live forever. The vaccine was very expensive but still hundreds of thousands of people were vaccinated. However, the experiment went horribly wrong and those that were vaccinated continued to age and eventually "die". Some people were cursed with progressive aging and were transformed into living corpses in a matter of weeks. Some humans even became what scientists began to call "Special Infected", zombie-like humans that could still communicate and had certain special abilities. The infected would rot, but not be able to rest in peace. Seeking revenge, they began to attack civilians.
The US government, after releasing the vaccine did not want to be blamed for the phenomenon and therefore kept these strange occurrences from the public. The infection was slow but within 5 years it was hard to ignore it any longer. Cities' populations began to diminish. Shops were left unattended. Electrical companies and the like shut down and homes were deprived of utilities.
The fight for survival began.
