Human Element

Human Element is the first game being developed by the independent game company Robotoki, which was formed by Robert Bowling after he left Infinity Ward following the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. "; Bowling believes it is the fear that the walking dead instill in the survivors, who lead them to do unreasonable things to survive. The game focuses on the survivors more so than the zombies, "the human element", and takes place 35 years after the zombie apocalypse began. Game difficulty was to be based on the number and age of people in your party.

Easy was just the player, medium was the player and an adult companion, while hard was the player and a child. In the latter 2 difficulties, the survival of the AI companion was to be a major part of the gameplay.
