SG/ZH: School Girl/Zombie Hunter[1] is a 2017 third-person shooter video game from D3 Publisher, developed by Tamsoft for the PlayStation 4. It has been described as a "Zombie Panic Shooting Action"[2] title and it is considered to be within the Onechanbara series: the setting is, in fact, the same universe. However, unlike the Onechanbara games, the game is set in a private institute attacked by zombies while five young girl students have to fight for their survival.[3] The game was released in Japan on 12 January 2017[4] and overseas later that year, and was ported to Windows in 2018, released on Steam.
