Wake the Dead Theory Page



Welcome to the Wake the Dead Theory Page. This is a place where you can discuss confirmed, debunked, and unconfirmed theories from the Wake the Dead series.

Current and Unconfirmed Theories

 * Inspiration: Players believe this series pays homage to The Walking Dead.
 * Levels and equipment: Given that this series features a level system similar to the Blades of Light and Shadow series, it is believed that some equipment will have a minimum level requirement for use.
 * Fate of Your Sister: Some players believe that due to Your Sister being bitten by zombies, Shannon Fox's comments that the workers in her lab turned into zombies after being bitten, and the fact that her death was not shown on-screen, we may have to fight her as a zombie later in the series.
 * Angel's parents: Some players believe Angel's parents will eat one of the crew members if they are taken to Olympus.
 * Survivors: It is believed that only the MC and the four love interests will make it to the end of the story.

Confirmed Theories

 * Title: There are many players who believe that the title "Zombies" is merely a working title. This is confirmed in Choices Insiders June 2021 as PB officially announced the book title would be Wake the Dead.
 * Gender of Choice: In line with most adventure books being gender of choice, many players expect this to be the same. This is confirmed in Choices Insiders June 2021.
 * VIP release date: Most players believe that the book will be released for VIP players around the end of October. The theory is confirmed on October 20, 2021, as PB announced the release date would be October 27.
 * Open Heart faces: Many players theorize that the book will reuse male faces from the Open Heart series. This is confirmed as the book reuses three male OH faces.

Debunked Theories

 * General release date: It is believed that the general release will be set for December 22, thus coinciding with the VIP release for Crimes of Passion. This is debunked on December 15, 2021, as PB revealed the book will be released to all players on December 29 via a response on Instagram.
