Stretch Reward #1!

Get your likeness in the game! We'll take a photo of your head, put it on a character in the game, be it a commonly seen zombie, or the occasionally, hostile and crazed survivor (your choosing!) You and your friends will get to shoot yourself! Plus all the other rewards!

Bonus: For $35, you will now also receive the Official Soundtrack once it releases!
