The Last of Us Part III: Joel of the Dead
Premise:
Joel’s body was never recovered. Turns out… the infection took, but it didn’t take over. He’s half-human, half-clicker, and 100% pissed.
• Still rocks a flannel.
• Grunts like a zombie, but can still play guitar.
• Has just enough brain function to hate Abby and protect Ellie, even though she doesn’t want him anymore.
• Mutters “I’m a dad…” between hissing fits.
⸻
New Mechanics:
• Echo Vision: Detect memories of those he killed, relive trauma, and scream it into the void.
• Feral Dad Rage: Temporary invincibility when Ellie is in danger.
• Guitar Hero: Fungus Mode: Controls spores by playing post-apocalyptic Johnny Cash covers.
⸻
Tagline:
“He died saving a girl.
He came back to save the world.”
JOEL OF THE DEAD.
I personally don’t cheat, wouldn’t cheat, being Demi/ace. But unfortunately everyone around me either cheats or has an open relationship then gets jealous when their SO gets some action. A lot of them have STDs.
