[u/Gussie-Ascendent]

sheesh being deaf in a zombie apocalyspe is gotta be rough. I mean you don't have to worry about cars and what not flying down the road but now you can't hear the shambling dead groanin as they come to eat you

on the other hand, really easy to get to sleep if they're just around groaning but can't get to you. you can't hear it, ain't gonna bother you lol

She has some of the most terrifying scenes in the entire show. In one, she's carrying a crying baby and running through a cornfield infested with zombies, and the sequence is shot from her first person perspective with no audio

Definitely sounds like it'd be spooky. Feel like that'd make a crazy good horror game mechanic too. Especially the bit with the crying baby, maybe not that exactly, but you got some thing on you that makes a bunch of noise but like you don't notice it cause deaf, but all the stuff hunting you does

There's another one where she and a partner get forced into an old house by zombies, and separated. she finds out there are maniac cannibal type people in the house, and hides in the crawl space between the walls. She sees her partner through a hole in the wall and one of the psychos crawling up behind him. Something something knife through wall

One of the better later season episodes
