The Conceptualization of Zombies Run as a Fitness Game
Zombies Run was created with the idea of combining storytelling with exercise. Adrian Han, the developer, wanted to make running more engaging and fun, especially considering the anxiety-inducing elements of gamification often seen in fitness tech. The game aimed to offer a unique experience where runners could enjoy an immersive audio story while running, focusing on motivating runners during the activity rather than after.
