Imagine a video game that let you participate in a post-apocalyptic battleground as if you were really there. An experience so brutally realistic a health check is strongly advised beforehand. Welcome to the future of gaming. Welcome to Zombie World …

Zombie World is a fun short story based around Virtual Reality and how it may be used in a none to distant version of the world. Zombie World is a fully immersive video game using virtual reality. The game allows players to explore a zombie hunting game overlaid upon the real world.A stag party group travel to Scotland for a weekend of the most intense and realistic virtual reality game as something new and interesting to try. As a video gamer myself, who has tried VR I enjoyed the concept behind this story. It was a fun, quick read.

The story contained unusual, Matrix-like elements to it when unexplained events occurred involving a few of the players. These could be chalked up to nothing more than software bug. Until similar events seem to occur at other Zombie World locations around the country. All in all, a fun, short story.
