Founded by Nick Doerr, a talented creator who's already displayed his editing skills on games and anime such as Hyperdimension Neptunia, Atelier Totori, Guided Fate Paradox, Witch and the Hundred Knight, Bunny Drop, and Katanagatari, Mr. Tired Media represents the opportunity for him to finally realize his own creative vision and develop his very own game: Undead Darlings.

Combining all of his years of experience in the gaming industry, along with many other talented artists, developers, and voice actresses, Undead Darlings ~no cure for love~ sets out to offer a unique combination of deep characterization and story alongside a fun and exciting dungeon crawler.

Undead Darlings ~no cure for love~
The story of Undead Darlings ~no cure for love~ revolves around Reginald "Reggie" P. Happenstahnce and his journey to take the cure for the zombie plague someplace safe; somewhere it can be mass-produced. His father—one of the scientists purported to be involved in the outbreak's inception—created this cure and left it behind before leaving on his own for the same purpose.

The game opens with Reggie waking up from an alcohol-related coma (courtesy of his own father, no less) and being told by his childhood friend Pearl that society had crumbled due to a virus outbreak that turned most everyone into zombies while he was sleeping. This includes Pearl herself. However, Pearl has managed to hold onto her human conscience, and she relates that she is not the only one this has happened to. As with every half-zombie Reggie will run into, she may be undead, but her heart is still human.

Players, through the eyes of Reggie, will meet several more undead girls who have held onto their human hearts, along with a fellow human named Buck who has abandoned his. Buck also takes on the duty of driving the party around in his big hybrid truck, which serves as a storage facility for the loot you acquire in the game's dungeons.

Your role as Reggie is to be the girls' loot donkey and carry the things they find in dungeons. Since Reggie is a human, the girls will prevent him from getting infected by fighting in the front lines! Go them!

While on this adventure, you will learn more about the undead girls' lives from before the outbreak, but whose tale you will hear is based on the choices you make during the visual novel scenes. Perhaps one of them will connect with you, open up about their hardships, and maybe even develop romantic feelings... The ultimate result of these interactions will determine whether or not any of these girls trust you enough to take the biggest risk of their undead lives—volunteer to be the first test subject for your father's cure!
