The game of Urban Dead takes place in the town of Malton, a perfectly square town assumed to be in Britain, as all of the locations possess vowels, and very few of them have the look of run-on sentences. The city is in the middle of a military quarantine, where new survivors and zombies appear out of thin air fully equipped and carrying toilets that turn crap into food, but no one can navigate beyond the borders of the city. The zombie virus is in full effect, and all of the denizens of the city appear to be infected. Condoms are innefective at stopping this infection, so abstinence must be practiced.
