Really interesting idea -- I think trying to navigate the zombies once you're there is pretty entertaining. At first I disliked that I couldn't turn the camera all the way around but I think that's a nice touch that makes it a lot scarier once you're in the thick of things, since you have to spend some time to look behind you. Music is awesome as well!

The beginning is way too slow though since you can only move one space at a time, I am getting carpal tunnel from mashing W lol. Also is there actually a win state? I skipped all the zombies by going inside a hill and walking to the end of the graveyard and nothing happened

Yeah, if you cross the gates and take a few steps forward that triggers the end state.

I guess I'm not sure if that interacts weird with being able to cross into the terrain? I did my best to fix that glitch but it seems I didn't squash the bug. Glad you enjoyed the aesthetic and that my goal in the rotation of the camera was solid!

Gotcha, I probably just didn't get close enough to the trigger before I died then :)

I just played through this a couple of times and found it quite amusing :D The music was rather funky! At first, I was thinking to myself, okay, it looks fairly quiet in here so I should be pretty safe, sorta went wandering around enjoying the music, then BOOM, an army of undead appeared and my face went O.O Then I realised I was probably gonna get eaten x3 and the fact that you can only move one space at a time so you just see them all inching closer to you with every step made it feel like there was a sense of impending doom (in a good way, of course) haha!

The blob creatures with many teeth looked pretty darn freaky x3 I did not want those coming anywhere near me!

Needless to say, I didn't escape the graveyard, haha. I gave it another go and went inside the side of a hill a little bit, just figured I'd back out though and all was fine :3 Then I realised I was actually floating a bit, which I guess was a result of accidentally going inside the hill, but I got cocky thinking that I could cheat to escape... that plan went out of the window cos I dropped back down to the ground in the middle of the zombie horde T_T haha. Was fun anyhow :D
