Rise of the Living is a 3D Zombie RTS where you have just one task, survive. Of course you can't survive alone for too long so you will need to setup a camp so you can start recruiting other survivors because as they say, there is safety in numbers. In the course of surviving you will encounter other groups and their leaders as well as more zombies than you probably like. To sum this game up in the simplest term its a regicide RTS where you must keep your leader alive until you have eliminated the other survivor groups on the map.
Notifications are generated by world objects. A unit can be under attack and send a notification for help or someone may have died and a notification for that will appear. Each notification can be left clicked to take you to the location the notification was sent. If you right click the notification will be dismissed. Notifications automatically stack on the left side of the screen.
