This level begins with a cutscene detailing the brothers’ childhood and how they were mistreated by their father. The story then proceeds to them having reached Fairport while “unaware of the nightmare that awaits them”. Something like a “red nova” up in the sky makes funky with the chopper and makes it crash. You survive it and wake up in what seems to be a grocery store.

As you start, turn around and go through those crazy doors and psychic link with the smoking corpse there. Go to the left and crouch under the shelves on the right. Walk straight from here and climb up the rusty metal steps, where you’ll be on a shelf with red candles. There’s a ladder that can be walked upon as a bridge to the shelf on the other side. You then cross another bridge and end up on the next aisle.

There should be a green button that you can press in order to open the garage door, where there’s another corpse that you can psychic link with. Go out through the double doors into the Breakroom, then proceed to the women’s washroom and kill the guard in there. He’s not supposed to be there anyway, which is strange since this room will turn very scary for a bit. After regaining your bearings, you should go into the men’s room and psychic link with another corpse, then exit through the hole in the wall.

A door will suddenly slam shut, which is quite rude since you have to open it again to enter it and proceed to the double doors on the other side. There should be another set of rusty metal steps that leads to a ramp. Once you’re up there, get across the ladder bridge and go up the ramp up ahead. You’ll then have to cross three more ladder bridges on your way to the electronics department of the store.

As you enter, go through the hole in the fence and psychic link with the corpse there. Suddenly, mutants destroy televisions and try to rape you, so you may use slow-mo if it’s too much for you. Once you’ve eliminated that threat, go out the door and proceed through two or three more doors right into Refrigeration Access. Suddenly, dead bodies come alive and attack you like you’re in a George A. Romero movie.

Once you’ve saved yourself from that mini zombie invasion, go for the path without obstructions and go left through all the horror movie cliches amplified to extra creepy. One of the glass windows that shatters gives you access to twin Uzis, so take them right there. As you proceed, a shelf will topple over that can crush you. Right at the next area, you will be fighting more zombies.

When you’ve gone past the chaos, psychic link with the half-eaten corpse. Proceed to the refrigeration unit by the way of the entrance labeled Milk and go near the exit at the other side. Hold off the zombies from this position, preferably with a shotgun. Once all that’s left is a mess, get a psychic link from the body in the area before going towards the next exit. There should be a garage door there that you can open and a corpse that you can psychic link with right on the other side.

The manager’s office should be up ahead. There’s ammo in the first room and a corpse you can psychic link with in the break room. There are also some supply crates with even more ammo, as well as in the Customer Relations room. There is another exit nearby with a garage door beyond it. Proceed there and kill off the zombies you’ll encounter there. These are suicide bomber zombies, so take them out from long range.

Psychic link with the corpse in the next aisle, then go up the ladder right by the fence and you’ll be upon the shelves, killing more zombies. Go right as you fight through and cross the ramp quickly into some place with plants around. You shall make a stand here against several waves of zombies here. Watch out for the suicide bomber zombies at the other side of the fence as you can shoot them to blow it open.

Go through the garage door and be welcomed by a cutscene with a crawler trying to lick and chomp your bloodshot eyeballs. Once you’re done with your bad acid trip, proceed to the meat fridge full of pig and human remains and head for the double doors. Psychic link with the poor fellow who was only trying to practice good hygiene. Go out the double doors there and prepare for yet more zombies and good times.

Get out of there by taking the ramp in the fire-lit area, then get up the wonky-looking stairs at the far end. You’ll then cross ladder bridges and shoot more zombies until you crawl through a little passage near a TV. Get down the next ramp and head up the rusty metal steps towards more ladder bridges. You’ll then have to drop down a hole on the floor, where you’ll find a weapon locker. The next area will have an intense combat sequence, so get ready before you reach for the crib in the middle of the room.

Upon killing all the zombies, you’ll see the doors at the back open up. You then kill all those guards and zombies towards the exit. Do one last psychic link with the nearby corpse before opening the garage door up ahead to go right into a cutscene to end this interval.
