Welcome to
Porto Morto
How did we get here?
That is, until C.A.R.E., a for-profit health tech giant, caught wind of your undead paradise and sent an army of Cure Bots to “fix” you, forcibly turning zombies back into humans.
Now, scattered and separated from your family, you’ll have to fight back, rescue your loved ones, and restore your town before the cure wipes out zombie-kind for good.
But as you push deeper into the island, you’ll uncover a darker truth about C.A.R.E.—because turning you human might just be step one.

Meet your new family
The
ROTTs
The Rottingtons may be undead, but they’re lively in all the best ways. In Stay Dead, you’re not just rescuing your family—you’re fighting as them, each one bringing their own unhinged skill set to the battlefield. Together, they’ll prove that nothing—not corporate conspiracies, not killer Cure Bots, not even death itself—can break up a nuclear family.

Stu
Loving Dad, Clueless Handyman
Stu considers himself the ultimate fix-it dad. In reality? He’s a well-meaning disaster and a walking safety hazard in denim shorts.
When C.A.R.E. invades Porto Morto and takes his family, Stu does what any devoted zombie dad would—grabs a plunger and charges headfirst into battle.
With buns of steel and boundless enthusiasm, he slashes, swings, and cannonballs through Cure Bots with reckless determination and accidental genius.
HADES
Good Boy? Debatable. Chaos Gremlin? Absolutely.
Hades is the heart of the Rottington family—equal parts devoted companion and untamed menace. Sweet to his pack, terrifying to everyone else, he’s a blur of fur, teeth, and pure protective instinct.
When his family is threatened, Hades becomes an unstoppable force, tearing through Cure Bots with lightning-fast precision. One second he’s there, the next—boom, metal scraps everywhere.
He may be undead, unpredictable, and completely off-leash, but he’s still a very, very good boy.
BLAIR
Rebel in Public, Romantic at Heart
Blair lives for three things: loud music, louder opinions, and pretending she doesn’t care. But she does. A lot. She’s the kind of girl who’ll shove you into traffic, then write you a love song about it. And if she really likes you? She’ll scream it at full volume—ear-splitting, glass-shattering, and impossible to ignore.
Luckily, her voice isn’t just an outlet—it’s a weapon. Cranking it up to 11, her high-pitched metal screams rip Cure-Bots to shreds, clearing a path for her family.
Whether she’s melting faces with a solo or blowing out eardrums in battle, one thing’s for sure—she’s here to make some noise.
BRAM
Boy Genius, Disgusting Pre-Teen
He’s smarter than you, filthier than you, and completely unbothered by both facts. A walking science fair of explosions, questionable experiments, and deeply concerning hygiene choices, Bram sees the world as one big problem to solve—or blow up.
His makeshift gadgets and contraptions are unpredictable, borderline illegal, and exactly what the Rottingtons need to throw C.A.R.E. into chaos.
For once, causing total destruction isn’t just allowed—it’s necessary.
GoryAnn
Proud Matriarch, Tacky Artist
Goryann is a whirlwind of artistic expression who believes Porto Morto should be as fabulous as she is.
Goryann doesn’t throw punches—she throws costumes, wigs, and just enough sequins to keep her family hidden in plain sight.
But blending in isn’t enough—she’s on a mission to revive Porto Morto’s flair, charm, and questionable fashion sense one over-the-top restoration project at a time.

C.A.R.E. - The Cure You Didn’t Ask For
Bankrolled by notoriously shady tech baron Bennett Shroud, C.A.R.E. started as a promising healthcare startup—then quickly spiraled into a global, profit-hungry empire. Armed with Dr. Stinkenbach’s so-called “miracle cure” for the zombie outbreak, C.A.R.E. built an army of Cure Bots to “fix” the undead whether they like it or not.
While C.A.R.E. claims to be saving humanity, skeptics argue the company’s real goal isn’t stopping the outbreak—it’s turning a global crisis into a privatized healthcare goldmine. And if their cure can take down zombies this easily… who’s to say what else they have planned for humanity?
