Survival Reality Show
In the future, humanity's fate lies in the hands of their alien overlords who invaded Earth a century ago. The invaders have instituted a brutal form of entertainment, The Survival Games, while controlling the masses that can't do anything against them. Each month, selected participants are dropped onto Zombie Island, a treacherous tropical landscape teeming with tens of thousands of zombies mutated by biological weapons from the invasion.
Zeke was a weary maintenance engineer accustomed to the filth and dangers of the city’s underbelly, finds himself chosen for the latest iteration of the Games. Haunted by a crushing debt inherited from his late relatives, Zeke sees the Games as both a death sentence and a potential lifeline. Thrust into a high-stakes reality show where survival is secondary to entertainment, Zeke needs to navigate the island's horrors while capturing the audience's hearts to secure vital donations, all in order to survive.
Armed with only basic supplies and his wits, Zeke battles grotesque zombies that can sense the warmth of living beings, ensuring there's never a moment of true peace. The island's shifting dangers, orchestrated by the alien overlords, push him to his limits. Yet, Zeke's strategy is clear: entertain first, survive second. By maintaining a crazy persona and embracing the chaos, he aims to outlast both the undead and his human competitors.
As Zeke confronts the island’s deadly challenges and uncovers the dark secrets behind the Games, he realizes he must play the game on a larger scale to stay alive. With every move broadcasted to a captivated audience, Zeke balances the fine line between life and death, entertainment and survival. Will he manage to survive the ultimate game, or will he become another forgotten casualty of the island? However, what will come next after the zombie island?
