Review:
A zombie apocalypse game where you explore an abandoned house and a little bit of the outside! It follows a pretty standard formula for point-and-click escape games. It was a lot of fun to play, even when not everything made sense. Yeah, some of the puzzles might seem a bit illogical, but it’s a fairly entertaining game. Especially if you like zombie games and don’t mind if it’s not in the style of a shoot-’em-up. The atmosphere in the game was maybe a bit dark and slightly alarming, but not in a scary way. No jump scares or anything.
Thoughts:
The game was an interesting one, as even when it’s a zombie game, you do nothing to the zombies, you just find a way to get away from them, and that’s rare, at least to me, in zombie games. Back to atmosphere; I agree with Avantra on the dark and alarming. The fact there’s no music, just the wind gives the feel of seclusion and perhaps also the sense of “silence before the storm”. Also, walking around a completely empty house with barricades everywhere gives quite an eerie feeling and also conveys “there’s definitely something wrong.” This increases as you progress in the game; first discovering a zombie in the basement, and seeing zombie hands blocking the hallway. Then killing the zombie in the basement and finally witnessing the numerous zombies right outside the house.
And killing some when you drive away :D
There were some tricky parts where you had to use some creativity to find out what to do next, or just randomly click everything, as you got clues from doing so, which is a classic point-and-click game mechanic.
