Now, she must guide her rag-tag group to safety, navigating a world where every sanctuary is fleeting, and danger lurks around every corner.

But just as their fragile optimism begins to take root, a new nightmare emerges: the undead are mutating into something far more terrifying than anything from their darkest childhood tales.
In this heart-pounding race for survival, will Chalice and her group find their haven, or will the world be lost to the relentless hordes of the undead?
