Hedgerow 44
A retro 1940s zombie survival game that runs right in the browser.
The story
A Normandy village on the night of 7 June 1944, overrun by the dead. Hedgerow 44 is a playable survival game with a late-90s console look: every model is built from code and every texture is painted pixel by pixel in the browser, with no image files at all. It shows how far a single web page can go as a games platform.
The clever bit
An entire 3D village, characters and pixel textures generated in code, with no art files, rendered through a faithful PS1-style pipeline in the browser.
