[h2]🌟 Meet Patty 🌟[/h2]



Patty is the sheriff's daughter, and at first glance, she seems like a classic girly-girl. With a keen eye for detail and a heart full of kindness, she dreams of a big family and a peaceful life. However, don't let her sweet demeanor fool you—Patty is a skilled sharpshooter, having been raised around guns and frequenting the local shooting range with her dad. As she navigates the chaos of a zombie outbreak, will her unique blend of skills and aspirations help her survive?

[h2]📚 Meet Vivica 📚[/h2]



Vivica is the textbook bookworm of Massville High With her nose always in a book, she's one of the most knowledgeable people around, but this has also made her a bit socially awkward. She's been bullied in the past, leading her to escape into the epic adventures and romances of her literary worlds. As she navigates the tumultuous events around her, Vivica's vast knowledge and inner strength will play crucial roles. Are you ready to delve into her intricate world?

Hey, Date Z Fans!

We're thrilled to kick off our #MeetTheDateZGirls series, where we'll introduce you to the fascinating characters you'll encounter in our game. First up, let's dive into the lives of Alicia and Bao!

[h2]🌟 Meet Alicia 🌟[/h2]



Alicia is an extremely athletic tomboy who dominates both the volleyball and basketball courts. When she's not in the gym, you can find her at the shooting range, firing the biggest rifles she can get her hands on. Volatile and fiercely independent, Alicia doesn't allow anyone to look down on her. Though she's cynical and sometimes mean, she's managed to form strong relationships with a few fellow students. However, Alicia is starting to realize that constantly striving for victory can feel hollow. Are you ready to unravel her complexities?

[h2]📸 Meet Bao 📸[/h2]



Bao is the inquisitive, sometimes annoyingly so, student who gives off the vibe of a 1930s reporter. With her fedora and camera always at the ready, she's living in her own sensationalized world. Bao loves to exaggerate events for her stories, whether they're for the school newspaper or her personal blog. She's always on the lookout for a conspiracy and often jumps to conclusions without much evidence. Her determination to uncover the truth (or her version of it) can lead to unexpected adventures!

Stay Tuned!
We're just getting started! In two weeks, we'll introduce you to more of the intriguing characters from Date Z. Each girl has her own unique story, quirks, and challenges that you'll get to explore.
