The Plum Island Horror

Players cooperate as leaders of distinct factions defending a besieged island city against a spreading outbreak. Each faction has unique abilities and limitations, and players assign and manage tactical units to hold lines, complete objectives, and facilitate civilian evacuation. The game mixes unit-level tactics with a tower-defense survival model: plan deployments, optimize each faction’s strengths, and coordinate actions to contain horrors and extract survivors before the threat overruns the island. Success or failure is shared by the group.
