Zombies! Get your zombies here! We got fast zombies, slow zombies, zombies who
are still a little bit intelligent, zombies who mindlessly continue on with
the jobs that they supposedly had when they were still alive. You choose your
environment, and you choose your level of difficulty, and then you just try to
survive. They have some pretty crazy scenarios. I love zombies, so I’m biased,
but I think you could have an entire planet just designated for this, and it
would be great. Here’s what’s interesting about it, and the kind of unique
thing about Castlebourne over all. They really lean into the fact that human
bodies are completely expendable these days. They put a lot of work into
building them for us. They have some fancy new technology that can grow a
clone of you in a matter of minutes, I don’t understand it. Or you can choose
your own creative avatar—like a bunny, or an iron giant—though that’s not
really allowed in Zombie Dome. You’re supposed to be a human running from
humanoid zombies. That’s the thing. But here’s a choice I never thought I
would get to make. You can turn into a zombie in certain variations.
When they bite you, if you don’t die, you continue as one of the undead.
They’ll pump you full of drugs, and impair your brain processing. You’ll start
walking around trying to bite other people. It’s a trip. I wanted to see what
it was like, so I intentionally got bitten. Don’t worry, there are fail-safes
in place. No matter how stunted your mind is, there’s always this part of you
that is aware that none of this is real, and that you can break out of it if
you need to. You can force your real consciousness back to the surface, and
start being a normal person again. You’re dead, so you can’t keep playing like
that, but you can make your way to an emergency exit, and quit playing. At
that point, you can request a respawn into a normal body again, and start all
over. I never felt unsafe in there even though that’s the point. It’s true, as
I said, I love this stuff, so I kind of went into it really prepared. You
might have a different level of preparation, but they’ll take care of you.
They won’t let things go too far. Even when you’re still alive, you can
put a stop to a zombie attack by uttering your safeword, which you will choose
ahead of time. It can’t be too obvious, like, help, or
no, stop! but I’ve seen it work. I had a bunch of buddies who were
there specifically to test these systems. They chose different safewords at
different times, and they always worked. We were there to test the boundaries,
and make sure that the safeguards were sufficient, and never faltered. Highly
recommended, but bear in mind this is not for everyone. It takes a certain
kind of constitution, and most people should know whether it will be good for
them or not, and again, if it’s not, you can just leave.
