Zombie Exodus: Endings

Zombie Exodus contains multiple endings achievable based on the player's past interactions and decisions with other characters throughout the story-line. There are five endings for staying at the Cathedral and four endings for fleeing/leaving the Cathedral for a total of nine endings overall. Another factor in how an ending plays out is the player's morality. A lower morality typically leads to a darker ending, and a higher humanity to a lighter ending, the overall ending however is very similar in content.

Ending Summary: In this ending the outlook is rather bleak, the Submit turns out not to be the utopia everyone hoped for and while you may be safer from zombies your life is now very hard going. Most of your group either dies or leaves. When fleeing the Cathedral Heather will stay behind unless you are romantically involved with her. Once you actually get to the Submit more memebers will leave. For example, if Kelly is with you she eventually steals some supplies and leaves one night. If Badger is with you he attemps to stage a coup but it isn't successful and you end up killing him. If Devlin is with you he will later be bitten and die. All other memebers just try to get by as well as they can.
