Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse

Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse is a reverse horror action-adventure video game developed by Wideload Games and published by Aspyr Media. It was released on October 18, 2005 for the Xbox and in November for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. It was released on February 10, 2006 in Europe with distribution handled by THQ. The game became available on Microsoft's Xbox Live Marketplace as an Xbox Originals in May 2008 but was removed in late 2012 due to technical issues. Set in a retro-futuristic version of 1959, the game follows Stubbs who rises from his grave as a zombie with an insatiable hunger for the brains of the inhabitants of the fictional Pennsylvania city of Punchbowl, while pinning for lost love Maggie Monday. The game was a moderate success garnering favorable reviews and sales for the Xbox version. A sequel was planned, but since Wideload's closing in 2014, it has been since declared canceled. A remastered version of the game was published by THQ Nordic and released for PC (via Steam), PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S in March 2021, featuring modernized controls and achievements/trophies.
