No More Room in Hell is a cooperative first person survival horror video game, created by Matt "Maxx" Kazan and initially developed as a modification on Valve's Source game engine. Set in a zombie apocalypse, the player assumes the role of one of eight remaining survivors,[1] with a focus on co-operation and survival. The game can be played through "Objective" or "Survival" mode. It is heavily inspired by George Romero's Living Dead series,[2] with the title being a reference to Dawn of the Dead, specifically the line "When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth.",[3] and some characters being references to other films such as American Psycho and The Big Lebowski.

The game was first released on October 31, 2011, as a Half-Life 2 mod. It was later officially re-released as a standalone title on October 31, 2013, via Steam Greenlight after having been in development since 2004.[4] It was met with positive reviews.[5]
