Real-Life Shooting Games

Lazarus is a Live Action Game that Lets Players Shoot Up Zombies

Live action video game production company IRLShooter is getting ready to launch its second real life video game, Lazarus. The game is a sequel to the company's first live action game, Patient Zero, that was introduced back in 2012.

What IRLShooter offers is a fully immersive gaming experience, where players can pay to play the game in a realistic environment that makes use of film industry-quality sets, world-class production values, interactive characters, an engaging narrative and a video-game-like flow.

Lazarus is designed to be something of a sequel to Patient Zero. It is set in the same universe as Patient Zero, but remains accessible and understandable to players who didn't play the original game. At the same time, the game will reward hardcore fans that delved deep into the story-line and research elements of Patient Zero.
