Zombie Game Name Generator

Zombie game titles tend to do one of four jobs. The first is to name the place where the outbreak happens, because a specific small town or building promises a contained, survivable story: Hollow Creek Outbreak, Ward 6, Last Light Pharmacy. The second is a single grim word or short phrase that sounds like a condition rather than an event (Bitten, Rigor, No Pulse, Overrun), which suits hardcore survival sims and roguelikes. The third is a line a survivor might actually say, which gives narrative games their voice: Stay Inside, Keep the Lights On, Nobody Comes Back. The fourth is the joke, for mobile and party games where the undead are an obstacle rather than a horror (Zombie Lawn Patrol, Brains & Biscuits, Mow the Dead).

The genre's own vocabulary helps: walkers, shamblers, biters, clickers, bloaters, horde, strain, quarantine, containment, evac. A military codename (Z.E.D. Unit, Operation Gravewatch) signals a shooter; a Tycoon or Sim suffix signals management; a colon subtitle (Quarantine: Pine Falls) signals a series. Avoid stacking more than one genre word, and steer clear of titles too close to established franchises.

Use these for game jams, Steam pages, Roblox experiences, board games and mods, or as a tone check for a pitch.
