In the world of Stay Dead, the typical zombie narrative gets turned on its head! We’re not just surviving an apocalypse—we’re thriving in one. We’re developing the tale of how Porto Morto became the ultimate zombie paradise. Here’s our initial take. We hope you enjoy it! 

Zombie Apocalypse Unleashed

When the world was ravaged by a zombie apocalypse, chaos reigned supreme. Cities crumbled, societies fell, and humanity clung to survival by a thread. 

In a desperate bid to reclaim civilization, Dr. X, a brilliant scientist, developed a cure to reverse the zombification affecting millions. This cure, heralded as a beacon of hope, was distributed worldwide, turning the tide against the undead onslaught. However, not every corner of the planet was reached by this life-saving science.

Cruise to a New Beginning

Enter the cruise ship destined for Saint Helena, a small resupply island lost in the Atlantic Ocean. The ship, overwhelmed by infected passengers, became ground zero for a unique ecological transformation. As the virus mingled with local flora and fauna, it gave birth to an entirely new ecosystem. Over time, Saint Helena transformed into Porto Morto—a vibrant haven where the undead didn’t just exist; they thrived.

Life in Undead Utopia

In Porto Morto, zombies led a life of surreal normalcy. The Rot Family, emblematic of the island’s community, reveled in their undead status, embracing the quirks and capabilities their new life afforded. From garden parties with zombie slugs to barbecue bashes where no one minded a little extra char, life in Porto Morto was nothing short of a paradise for the undead.
