The defining mechanic is turning defeated living characters into undead allies, then leading them in attacks across Punchbowl.
What is Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse?
Set in 1959, the game follows a zombie pursuing Maggie through Punchbowl, Pennsylvania.
Players attack living inhabitants, consume brains, and use bodily weapons including zombie sputum, gut grenades, and an incapacitating blast. A severed hand can possess civilians, including a barbershop quartet singer, allowing control of their actions and access to a raygun.
