The site, in 2005
Kevan Davis's text-based zombie game set in the quarantined city of Malton, where every survivor and every zombie was played by a person.
Its players formed groups to besiege and defend malls together. It ran from 2005 to March 2025, when Davis closed it, saying the UK's Online Safety Act made a one-person site with social features too risky.
In 2005: Went live on 3 July; players gained one action point every half hour, so a day's play took about ten minutes.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
