      I guess a zombie game where you play the 24 hours before patient zero gets sick, like an evil medicine lab simulator who got a 24 hour deadline to produce the first viable zombie or get shut down by the evil investors

      I accidentally heard about it a month ago and watched a bunch of videos about the studio and the game. Pretty interesting, and i was really looking forward to see how bad it is. I was kinda surprised how big the following of the game is, and most people i know have no idea that the game exists

    Why is it “Steam’s”? The article is as bad as the game supposedly is.

      Because it was allegedly the most wishlisted game on steam at one point

    Being called a dumpster fire is being very generous.

      I watched just some gameplay, and it’s still better than i expected. So that’s a plus i guess.

    Huh, so turns out the game does exist - though it seems it shouldn’t

    Zombie media is trash in general. If you’re a shit writer, zombies are for you. Not surprised when that’s the main selling point.

      Zombies are just a sauce on top of the storytelling. Something is not bad just because it has tropes you recognize from other bad things.

      Good Zombie Games are aplenty: Left 4 Dead Project Zomboid 7 Days To Die Plants Vs Zombies Day Z State of Decay (ish)

          It was actually a format issue with lemmy. My comment had line breaks after each game name, like a list, but the format didn’t keep. Now get off me nuts

        Agreed but zombies make it too easy for shit writing to succeed. Zombies are slow, fast, smart, brainless, loud, quiet, strong, weak, all at the plot’s convenience.
