Description

Welcome to the bone-chilling, pulse-pounding world of Piggy, the survival-horror game that will keep you up at night. After the outbreak of a zombie-like disease that's turned the world upside down, Willow and her mysterious team, the Silver Paw, do all they can to stay alive.

It's not so easy when there are dangerous creatures called 'the infected' and their leader, Piggy, roaming the streets. Danger is around every corner. When Piggy ambushes Willow and newcomer Cami, the two escape to an abandoned school only to find they'll have to survive a barbarian clan of kindergarteners, a gladiator pit in the cafeteria, and more, all with Piggy hot on their trail.

Can they escape in one piece? Or will this be the end of Willow and the Silver Paw?
