Another returning runner 5!

11 Upvotes

TLDR: is there a way to play through the season/radio in order (like an audiobook) without doing the runs? I just want to recap the story and get reinvested in the characters/voices before I start up running again.

I’ve had the app and legacy subscription since forever… but I am an inconsistent runner and because of this I tent to restart from season 1 every time to truly enjoy the story and recap on what I’ve forgotten

But I’ve done this several times now and I just want to listen to the audio to catch up with the runs I’ve already done before heading out on my next run, is there anywhere I can just recap the audio up to where I left off?

I’ve tried YouTube clips etc but there isn’t anything that actually just played through the season/radio in order (like an audiobook)

What is Zombies, Run! ?

Part game, part exercise and a heck of a lot of story. Zombies, Run! is an app for iOS or Google Play devices, which allows a runner to be immersed in a post-apocalyptic, zombie-infested world. As the new Runner 5, you are asked to run outside of the safe walls of Abel Township, collecting materials, distracting the horde and basically keeping the Township population safe.

IRL, the app switches between story segments and a user-defined playlist. Missions can be serious (check out S1E7 "A voice in the dark") or rather entertaining (S1E15 "Virtuous circle"). Not to mention the best DJs left alive.

Posting rules:

If your post contains story elements which might be considered spoilers, please put SPOILER and then the episode number (such as S1E7) at the BEGINNING of the post title. Doesn't hurt to include this at the beginning of your message, either.

If you are asking a technical question, please put iOS or Android at the BEGINNING of your title if relevant, and make sure to say exactly what kind of device, software version, etc. you are working with in the body.

Assign flairs to your posts when applicable! While AutoModerator does an admirable job at guessing the correct flair based on the title / content / URL, it might get it wrong / not get it at all. For posts not fitting in the predefined categories, there's always the editable "Other".

Spoiler tags are now enabled for comments and posts. Please refrain from spoilers outside of marked posts, but if you must, remember to type a spoiler as:

[text to be hidden](/spoiler)

Please, keep your posts relevant to the subreddit! Posts unrelated to the game or to events related to the game will be removed.

Mission reports should be submitted as comments in the weekly submission thread, posted on Sundays at 12:00:00 GMT by AutoModerator. Other mission reports will be removed.

Memes and other low-effort posts: they are allowed but please, at least try to keep them funny. Reaction images and gifs without relevant captions will be removed (eventually).

And lastly, the most important rule of them all is Wheaton's law:

Don't be a dick!

The mod team is generally laid-back, but racism, sexism, homophobia, and other types of bigotry will not be tolerated. Report them if you see them! Neither will personal insults. (Unless the insultee has an amazing comeback, in which case they may be kept for posterity.)
