The Dead Rising series’ psychopaths are an eccentric bunch, consisting of disturbed and sadistic individuals. However, there are some of them that can make you feel quite guilty about killing them, one of which is Slappy.
Slappy is an eighteen-year-old mascot of a fast food chain of the same name who you encounter in Dead Rising 2. Chuck comes across the teenager as he weeps over the dead body of another mascot, a girl who Slappy had a crush on.
The two of them were going to go on a date before the zombie outbreak began, and seeing as Chuck is blamed for starting it, Slappy tries to take revenge for his dead love by attacking him.
Although you kill him in self-defense, the fact that Slappy is just a teen who loses his mind due to grief doesn’t make you feel good about doing him in, especially since in his death cutscene, he curls up to his girlfriend’s corpse and dies, telling her they will both be fixed in the great “toy box in heaven.”
Their love story is like Romeo and Juliet… if it were set in the zombie apocalypse and the two main characters were corporate mascots with oversized heads.
