Could you be the Last of Us?

You've probably watched the HBO series, well, this is where it all started! The Last of Us was a PS3 game about all the horrific and dehumanizing things you’d have to do to survive in a world destroyed by a zombie-like plague. On the surface, The Last of Us could be confused with any other another "post-apocalyptic zombie" game. In reality though, it was a game about two characters whose lives become a series of desperate choices, who must kill for food and weapons, and who must do whatever it takes — whatever it takes — to survive. 

The strategy was to recreate this desperate feeling for gamers, challenging them to put themselves in the shoes of the main character, Joel, and ask how far they would go to survive.
