The original book by Max Brooks was half decent.
It pictured more or less verisimilar picure of a zombie apocalipse.
Some interesting bits included, for example, massive "zombie cure" vaccine scams.
Or curious psychological breakdowns as some people not able to cope with constant fear, began to imitate zombie behavior to feel safer by "blending in".
Although it was not without some silly cringy stuff, like a blind(!) japanese grave-keeper who learned to deal with zombies in his own unique shovel style.
Anyways, this game, just like the movie before it, ruin the main shtick of the source WWZ - zombies are slow, they do not run.
The horror comes from slow, unstoppable, unrelenting advance of the living dead and the author keeps accenting this idea throughout the book.
I wish they had made a proper survival horror based on WWZ, not this twitch-shooter with ragdolls on speed.
