What Lunchtime of the Damned is

Lunchtime of the Damned is an adventure game developed by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw and released in 2001. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only. It runs on AGS.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Teenage magician Davy Jones, and his girlfriend Elandra, perform a resurrection ritual at the graveyard in hopes of bringing a deceased local to life. But everything goes horribly wrong, and they end up becoming unwitting progenitors of a brain-craving zombie. Can Davy put an end to the undead menace's existence? The game is controlled with a mouse; similarly to Sam & Max Hit The Road, right-clicking changes the cursor action (Walk to, Look at, Interact with, Talk to), while moving the cursor to the top of the screen makes a menu appear, allowing you to easily change the cursor actions, access one's inventory or save/load/quit the game.
