Touch the Dead

Touch the Dead

Touch the Dead (titled Dead 'n' Furious in Europe) is a rail-shooter/survival horror game for the Nintendo DS, developed by Dream On Studio and published by Eidos Interactive under the Secret Stash Games brand. The game's cover was designed by artist Arthur Suydam, known for his work on the Marvel Zombies comic series. Touch the Dead is a rail shooter. Players point the stylus at oncoming zombies on the bottom screen. Pointing fires the weapon Steiner has equipped. Shots can be fired at the head, arms, legs and stomach. To reload, players simply grab a clip icon (in the bottom right corner of the touchscreen) and drag it to the bottom left corner, where a picture of the "magazine" can be seen. The console's D-pad and face buttons are simply used to switch weapons. Both serve the same purpose and work for both right and left-handed users. Health and ammo can be regained by shooting crates and cabinets. The player also has the option to use switches to open doors and choose a left or right path when a fork appears. Both paths bring the same bonuses.
