Zombie Next Door

Knock, knock! Who's there? It's your friendly neighborhood zombie!
In this GPT-powered game, you play as a zombie trying to persuade the neighbors in the outskirts of Mladenburg city to let you into their homes—so you can eat their brains! But be careful not to reveal your true intentions, or they might get scared.
Each neighbor has a unique backstory and is aware of the other neighbors. They can also "see" you, so your appearance and behavior matter. Sometimes, your uncontrollable urge for brains will make you blurt it out, forcing you to get creative to avoid suspicion. Neighbors remember past conversations unless you change your appearance, and you can even disguise yourself as another neighbor to confuse them. Use the information you gather to manipulate, blackmail, or charm your way in. Adapt your approach depending on the time of day and outsmart the entire neighborhood to satisfy your cravings! They might notice if another neighbor starts acting strange.
The game supports voice recognition and (experimental) text-to-speech, so you can play it with your voice only.
⚠️ NOTE: ⚠️ This game uses Puter.com JS GPT client so you'll have to authenticate with Puter in order to play. It's a one click anonymous login, though!

Is the time of day based on the time set by the PC?
YES! Finally someone noticed! 😁 Not only that, but the weather also! I mean in conversations with NPCs, not visually (yet).
Plus, it's harder to play when it's dark outside, NPCs will be more hesitant to let you in in the evenings/during the night.
HAHAHA Yeah. I was playing at like 12:30 am. Everyone was very resistant to letting me in. Matilda invited me in for tea, but I never actually made it inside. Not sure if I have to just keep talking with her and like raise her opinion of me even more. I decided to come back in the daytime to test it out some more. Will get back to you with more feedback soon.
I am noticing that the NPC's are saying its dark outside and that its late, but the day animation is on and it's 1:30pm in the afternoon.
Hm, strange. Here's how it should work:
