Fear is to be expected when confronting daily zombie attacks, while suffering shortages of food, water, and resources. When the fear catches up with the town, some people will just not be able to cope...

Cause

• There's a 20% chance you will become Terrorised after taking Unlabelled Drug Unlabelled Drug.
• Drawing Your name Written in blood from an Incomplete Deck of Cards Incomplete Deck of Cards.
• During The Attack The Attack, having the town be breached by zombies and your house attacked by some of the invaders, but surviving because you have higher personal defence points than the amount of zombies that attacked you.
  • You will receive a message from The Crow, with the message entitled "Terrorised!!":
    OK. We've got good news and bad news. The good news is that despite the best efforts of [X] zombies to devour you, you got through it ! The bad news is that the experience really shook you up, so you are now terrorised by the idea of having to go through that again...
  • If your house is not attacked you will not become Terrorised.
• During the Attack, a Watchman may acquire this status when fighting the zombies:

--> Watchman [name] resisted all they could, but this zombie onslaught etched a look of total terror on their face!

Effects

• You exert no Control Points Control Points instead of 2. This means that encountering even one zombie in the World Beyond World Beyond will cause you to become trapped unless someone comes to save you.
• Attempting to do anything (except Camping Camping related actions such as "Improve the campsite") within a zombie controlled zone results in the following message:
  "If you are gripped by terror, in the desert and surrounded by zombies you can't do anything... You need to find a drug or something else to calm your nerves and get out of this hellhole... At least it is still possible to call for help on the forum..."
  • You cannot fight zombies, even with Armoury Weapons (e.g. Water Bomb Water Bomb, Box Cutter Box Cutter). Fights of Despair Fights of despair do not work either, since a fist fight is even more risky than fighting with weapons.
  • You cannot flee the zone, even if you're not Wounded Wounded. Attempting to flee the zone will fail, but you will not be Wounded Wounded
  • You cannot Eat or drink, or otherwise use anything from your rucksack (with the exception of Valium Shot Valium Shot)
  • If you are a Tamer Tamer, You cannot use your Three-legged Labradoodle Three-legged Labradoodle, as this also classes as an item from your inventory. This action will not help you anyway.
  • You may still use Heroic Actions Heroic actions such as Heroic Return, Seeker and Vicious Uppercut, although seeker is useless in this situation due to not being able to use any item you find (unless you have the Seeker (upgraded), in which case you can find and use a Valium Shot Valium Shot).
• Messages on the forums and private messages are distorted.
• You can still attempt to use Break Through Break Through, which has a 50% chance of killing one zombie and gaining control for 10 minutes.

Removal

• Taking a Valium Shot Valium Shot (also causing you to become Drugged Drugged).
  • This also works while trapped!
• Using a Pocket Vibrator Pocket Vibrator (charged) (earns Masochism Masochism Distinction).
  • This is only possible while in Home Home. The option to use it simply does to appear while in the World Beyond World Beyond.
• Smoke using an Opened packet of Cigarettes Opened packet of Cigarettes in conjuction with a Box of Matches Box of Matches.
  • This action has a chance (?%) not to consume either of the items.
• Having a Cinema Cinema built in town.

Note: Valium is the only cure usable in the World Beyond World Beyond.

Notes

• In a zone clear of zombies, you still behave normally.
• Identifiable in any citizen's Home Home by the rumor:

"can't sleep anymore and is babbling incoherently, talking of death, talking shadows and voices in their head..."

• Previously called "Terrified".
• If there is a breach and if you are terrorised before the attack, you can get "Terrorised!!" messages again if zombies visited your house.
• In rare cases, you might get "A frightful night!" message instead, which does not show the number of zombies that tried to devour you. However, this has no relation to whether you were terrorised or not before the attack. If you were not terrorised before the attack and received this message, then you will escape the night with no terror. If you were terrorised, then you will remain so.

"A frightful night!": You were really sweating last night! You heard them groaning, banging around and yelling outside. Eventually your door gave way and you took refuge under your bed, clutching your remaining possessions, trying not to think about the situation. Then they left... Shaking with fear you eventually came out of your hiding place, grateful that you survived.
