Like, what if each 2-5 Levels are in one game, and in order arrive at the next Levels, you need DLC? Maybe each DLC are the next 5 levels. Each Level could be 24 hours of gameplay to complete.

Or each year of your life is 36.5 hours of gameplay (1 yr/hr). If the average mortality rate is 80, then that's 2920 hours, before you get to the next Level. Then another 2920 in that Level, and so on. hahaha LIFE

But you'll probably get murdered more often than not, so it'll be way less.

Or the game skips a lot of years and just speeds you up once you've made the proper decisions in each life stage.

It can generalize what you'll become based on a few decisions. Haha.

Back to zombies: a zombie virus that spreads by paranormal means (e.g. possession by an evil spirit mutates your cells to become "infected").

The object of the game would be to get rid of the virus and the evil spirit within 37 hours, or you will "turn."

Throughout the game, you are haunted by the evil spirit inside you, constantly switching between demon/zombie and normal person.

When you're a demon/zombie, you struggle to keep "yourself" from killing/eating people, destroying your surroundings, and etc.

The more "bad" things you end up doing while a demon/zombie, and the longer you stay in demon/zombie form, the faster you "turn."

When you turn, the game is over, so it's not advisable to stay a demon/zombie for long. However, there are certain points where you MUST use your demon/zombie form to progress.

For example: in order to get closer to the "remedy," you must use your demon/zombie form to camouflage your way through a blockade of demon/zombies.

And it's not as simple as just walking through the crowd while in demon/zombie form. You have to really "act" like them, without fully giving in to the spirit inside you (which requires specific controls).

As a normal human, you also have to get to the remedy quickly, while having to navigate through a hostile environment, other people, and other possessed people.

But the clock is ticking, so you can't take your time completing game stages. Time is always of the essence. Take to much time, and you "turn," which ends the game.
