Beforehand, Stubbs heads to the Punchbowl Police Station where he is captured and the police chief is planning on dancing on Stubbs' grave, but he escapes by ripping his arm off and using it to control a scientist to release his restraints. At its opening ceremony in 1959, Stubbs rises from his grave as a zombie and decides to get his revenge by eating the brains of the inhabitants of Punchbowl, quickly creating his own army of the undead, causing increasing amounts of havoc as the zombies clash with the various militant factions of the area. He temporarily finds happiness with a girl named Maggie Monday, but he meets his unfortunate end when Otis, Maggie's father, comes home, and kills him, dumping his body in the wilderness.ΔΆ6 years later, the city of Punchbowl, Pennsylvania, founded by multi-billionaire playboy industrialist Andrew Monday, Maggie's son, has been built directly on top of Stubbs' not-so-final resting place. In 1933, Edward "Stubbs" Stubblefield is a poor traveling salesman during the Great Depression, who tries to make a living. Punchbowl was envisioned and funded by Andrew Monday and created by his teams of scientists, led by former Nazi scientist Dr. It includes hovercars, laser weaponry, a monorail, and robots. Punchbowl is a retro-futuristic city that resembles the future as portrayed by the media in 1950s. Crowds of zombies serve as a great shield when approaching enemies armed with ranged weapons and are needed for sowing the necessary chaos and confusion into a difficult melee. An enemy that fires upon a zombie in a group will attract the attention of all the rest of the zombies. Stubbs' zombie followers can kill humans and eat their brains, just like Stubbs can, and any human killed by one of his minions will also turn into a zombie.
Since there is a limit to how many zombies will follow him at a time, Stubbs can guide the rest by sending whole groups of zombies in a direction with a single shove. Stubbs can herd zombies which are in range by whistling. All of the aforementioned improvised weapons, excluding Stubbs' hand, will convert enemies they kill into zombies. Stubbs can drive a wide variety of vehicles, such as cars, tractors and tanks. Stubbs' zombie state prevents him from wielding any conventional weapons, and instead wields a variety of improvised weaponry and combat techniques, most of which are done using a specific body part as explosives or makeshift devices. The player has the option of beating an enemy to death with melee strikes or to transform them into zombies. Eating brains gives back a certain amount of lost health to the player as well as converting those humans into zombies, causing them to fight alongside the player. In Stubbs the Zombie the player plays as a zombie, and the primary goal is to kill humans and devour their brains. An "I Love Stubbs" Collector's Edition, featuring a severed Stubbs statue and exclusive vinyl, is available as of July 2021 with a shipping date of Q4 2021.
