For some reason, zombies are all the rage. These mindless beings who enjoy eating human flesh have spent decades starring (usually as villains) in numerous films, series, books and cultural products of all kinds. When, for example, we refer to zombie video games, we usually find titles that stand out for their suspense, the atmosphere of terror and the infinite hordes that must be faced.
