Anthony survives in his cocoon of destitution and isolation until Los Angeles comes under attack from zombies, terrorists, earthquakes and other untold disasters. Facing complete annihilation, Anthony is reluctantly forced to begin a cynical quest for salvation.

Using only his street smarts and the environment to stay alive, he must save the very city and its citizens he despises, and, in the end, escape what has become a very Bad Day in L.A.

The game boasts graphical design by the art team Kozyndan, and includes 10 levels based on real-world Los Angeles neighborhoods. To fight through this battered Los Angeles, players are armed with an eclectic mix of everyday armaments, from the mundane firearm to the more improvisational spray paint can flamethrower.
