From BoardGameGeek

A Fully Electronic Survival-Horror Board Game - No Moving Parts. Just Pure Tension. Inspired by the classics, this is a love letter to the golden age of zombie horror - drawing heavily from iconic films and survival-horror video games that defined the genre. Featuring a fully original musical score composed exclusively for the game and real voice performances from four professional actors, the experience is rich with cinematic atmosphere and escalating dread. You're part of a four-person military unit trapped in a remote farmhouse. It's 6:00 PM. Outside, the undead swarm. Rescue won't arrive until 6:00 AM. Armed with only what you can scavenge, you must survive 12 relentless in-game hours as the horde breaks through the defenses. Driven entirely by LEDs, this one-of-a-kind game eliminates moving parts - every action, threat, and shift in the environment is signified through immersive light cues. Search for ammo. Barricade the doors. Fend off the dead. Scavenge supplies. Make impossible choices. With multiple endings, no two playthroughs are the same - your story of survival is yours alone. Dawn is your only escape. Can you survive the night? -description from the designer
