Plague Week is a top-down zombie survival shooter where your goal is to withstand seven nights of an undead onslaught. This intense browser game challenges you to scavenge for supplies by day and fight off relentless hordes by night.
Using WASD to move and the mouse to aim and shoot, you'll need sharp reflexes and strategic thinking to manage resources, upgrade weapons, and fortify your position against increasingly difficult waves of zombies.
The gameplay in Plague Week is split into two distinct phases: day and night. During the day, the zombies are less active, giving you a critical window to explore the map.
This is your time to search buildings for ammunition, medical supplies, new weapons, and materials to build and repair barricades. Make every second count, because once the sun sets, the real challenge begins.
When night falls, the zombies become aggressive and will attack in coordinated waves. Your objective is to survive until dawn. Each successive night brings more numerous and more dangerous types of zombies, testing the defenses you prepared and your skill in combat.
Surviving the night allows you to progress to the next day.
You won't last long with just a basic pistol. A key part of Plague Week is improving your gear. As you scavenge, you'll find different weapons like powerful shotguns for crowd control and accurate rifles for picking off targets at a distance.
You'll also collect scrap and parts that can be used at workbenches to upgrade your favorite firearms, increasing their damage, magazine size, or reload speed.
Beyond weapons, you can construct and reinforce barricades to create choke points and slow the zombie advance. Placing these defenses strategically can mean the difference between a secure night and being completely overrun. Don't forget to repair them during the day!
You can jump straight into the action of Plague Week without any downloads or installations. As an HTML5 game, it runs directly in your web browser, making it easy to play anywhere.
Because it requires no special permissions, it works perfectly on most school or work networks, offering a quick and accessible survival challenge whenever you need it.
Your main objective in Plague Week is to survive for seven consecutive days and nights against a growing zombie horde. Each day you successfully survive, the next night becomes even more challenging, with more numerous and powerful enemies.
Control your character's movement using the WASD or arrow keys. Use the mouse to aim your weapon and left click to fire. You can switch between your equipped weapons using the number keys (1, 2, 3) or by scrolling the mouse wheel.
Press the R key to reload your current weapon.
Gameplay is divided into a day and a night cycle. During the day, you must scavenge the area for ammo, supplies, and better weapons. At night, you'll need to use what you've found to defend yourself against waves of zombies.
Survive until morning to proceed to the next day.
Headshots Matter - Aim for the head to take down zombies with fewer bullets, conserving your precious ammunition for tougher enemies. Daylight is for Scavenging - Don't get caught up in one area.
Use the entire daytime period to search as many buildings as possible for the best loot. Barricade Choke Points - Don't just board up windows around you. Place barricades in narrow alleyways or doorways to funnel zombies into a kill zone.
Reload Tactically - Get into the habit of hitting the R key during any brief pause in the action. Running out of bullets in the middle of a fight is a common way to get overwhelmed.
Know Your Enemy - Pay attention to different zombie types. Prioritize taking out the fast-moving ones first, as they can close the distance and damage you quickly. Match Weapon to Situation - Use shotguns when zombies get close and you need to clear a group.
Use rifles to pick off dangerous special zombies from a safe distance.
