During a semi generic Zombie takeover of some random anonymous city, four individuals are trapped near the center of the city and have to make their escape! The city has your usual heavily urbanized downtown with skyscrapers and the like... but there is also a great deal of suburban sprawl as well... and it's all filled with glorious zombies and other biological nasties!!! Joy! Needless to say... you can't just drive on out of the city due to abandoned roadblocks, collapsed bridges/tunnels, huge car blockages and other things. Airports are devastated. Sewers are blocked, noxious and filled with giant mutant crocodiles.
Oh and there's probably generic KILLSQUADS(tm) of elite mooks in Hazmat/MOPP suits with automatic weapons going around killing people for nebulous reasons.
And each of these protags can't just save themselves... but also a healthy, relatively intelligent athletic young female twenty something with negligible combat skills who is either their love interest or loved one and cannot be abandoned.
Most of the adversaries in the city are your standard Zombies and tend to shamble around, but a large portion are also fast zombies who can run, sprint, climb and jump as well. Bites carry an infection but are survivable if treated in the first 24 hours or whatever (so escape by then) and zombies can be killed through the standard destruction of the brain or central nervous system.
There are other monsters too however including (but not limited to):
Lickers (Resident Evil) who can leap, climb, have deadly claws and lancelike tongues and sense targets via noise and are extremely fast and somewhat durable (requiring many pistol shots or a few shotgun blasts to fell).
The Tank (Left 4 Dead) who are just giant, musclebound and sprinty huge zombies who can soak up a lot of damage and possess incredibly superhuman strength.
Volatile (Dying Light) who are extremely fast and nimble and strong and can spit acidic phlegm but typically only come out at night.
Demon (Metro Last Light) Horse sized, bat winged gargoyle like aerial predators who can claw, scream and overturn mid sized vehicles with their mighty strength.
Also... just in case... there are also delightful giant zombie alligators in the sewers and waterways, zombie dogs romping about and the aforementioned KILL SQUADS trying to kill all witnesses!
Who escapes alive and if more then one does... who escapes first? They will not work together (and if you need to, consider the scenarios separate) but they can actively impede or obstruct their rivals since for some reason they and their loved one must escape first for.... plot reasons.
They are:
John Wick: Starts out in a (normal) hotel room with two handguns and fifty rounds of ammunition, and a knife.

Jason Bourne: Starts out in a police substation holding cell with a lockpick.

"When Helen died, I lost everything. Until that dog arrived on my doorstep. A final gift from my wife. In that moment, I received some semblance of hope. An opportunity to grieve unalone. And your son took that from me! Stole that from me! Killed that from me! People keep asking if I'm back. And...

"I've lived in a world of death. I tried to come home, but I never really arrived. A part of my mind and soul... got lost along the way. But my heart was still here, where I was born. Where I would defend to the end... the only family I've ever known. The only home I've ever known. All the ones...
