Story

The zombie plague has spread across the globe, wreaking havoc on the world as civilization has collapsed. In 2019 (16 years after the events of The House of the Dead 4), a paramilitary force led by retired AMS agent Thomas Rogan infiltrates the EFI Research Facility, a research center formerly owned by Dr. Roy Curien and located in an undisclosed location in Europe or North America, to investigate what led to the world's collapse. During the mission, his entire team is killed until only he and his second-in-command, Captain Dan Taylor, are left. When they manage to find the answer in a massive laboratory, Death, a giant mutant serving as the facility's guard, kills Taylor and injures Rogan. As he struggles to survive, Rogan is approached by a stranger in a half-finished robe who offers to help him. Contact with him is broken off. Two weeks later, on October 31, Rogan's daughter Lisa arrives at the facility accompanied by his former partner, semi-retired agent "G", to rescue him. As they make their way through the facility, they battle hordes of undead creatures before encountering Death, whom they fight twice. Later, they fight a deformed sloth, the Fool, and a mutated vine called the Sun. Along the way, Lisa muses with "G" about having to live in the shadow of her famous father and how she is often compared to him.
