Me and My Mates vs. The Zombie Apocalypse

The story unfolds in the wake of a zombie apocalypse that sweeps across Australia, turning everyday shelters into bunkers. The group improvises signals and plans to reach help, using fires and fireworks to catch distant attention. Survival hinges on quick adaptation to a fragile new normal where the past feels distant and uncertain.

A battered telephone exchange tower rises above a quiet, sun-bleached Australian landscape, serving as a fragile fortress for a small group of survivors. The harsh, smoky air and distant explosions mark a world where safety is scarce and every choice can mean life or death. Inside, the tower offers a temporary sanctuary from the undead swarming beyond its walls.

🔥 Survival

Survival drives every decision as the group contends with dwindling supplies, looming hordes, and the constant threat of betrayal. They improvise a plan to repair a 3G tower to summon help, and resort to drastic methods like firing grenades to delay the undead. The shelter becomes a line between safety and disaster, tested by smoke, fear, and fatigue. The cost of staying alive is measured in injuries, tension, and fragile alliances that may not outlast the night.

🤝 Trust & Betrayal

Loyalties fracture as competing plans and hidden pasts intrude on fragile unity. The arrival of uncertain outsiders and the revelation of intimate entanglements erode trust and force the group to reevaluate who deserves protection. Suspicion grows as people weigh personal safety against collective survival. In a world where every choice could be fatal, trust becomes the most precious—and precarious—currency.

🌅 Hope & Collapse

Moments of humanity and connection puncture the surrounding despair, offering glimmers of hope amid devastation. The flare intended to summon rescue becomes a symbol of tenuous optimism, while the dawn light hints at a possible new beginning. Yet the relentless undead remind them that hope must endure alongside danger and sacrifice. The story cycles between fleeting progress and sudden catastrophe, underscoring the fragility of any beacon of safety.
