This research aims to create a new and variative ways to exercise without going out of your home dan to create a new atmosphere of exercising that is fun because of the survival horror genres. This research is using prototyping models and using Unity 3D as the game-engine that allow the application to run on Android Devices. The result of this research is VRSurvival Runner, an android game that allows the player to run, jump, to avoid zombies that are chasing the player, and also this game has a feature of counting the estimated burned calories while playing the games.
