Basically a zombie survival game, that is pretty awesome.
basically about how long you manage it in a zombie apocalypse.

The tutorial is slightly bugged.


*SPOILER*
When you get to the part where you put the soup in the oven and get called upstairs to listen to the radio, if you turn the oven off and then go upstairs and barricade the door (I did this knowing about the looter that comes), the looter will end up being stuck outside of the door to the bedroom, making it impossible to hide from him so you can kill him and survive with your wife, because you have to take the barricade off of the door and immediately after you do that, he opens it and begins the conversation. It was unfortunate because I tried to kill him anyway and he shot me in the face, blowing my head off, and proceeded to shoot my wife and left.
*END SPOILER*

So far, it seems like it could be the Survival RPG we've been waiting for our whole lives. Let's just hope they don't screw it up.


Also, I'm aware that it's not that hard to read the colored text, but I figured it was worth a try for those who didn't want the intro spoiled.

I died before getting the soup, cuz when I was trying to make the soup zombies fucking PLOWED into the door. I only saw a few running around outside, when the door brook, fucking there were TONS. So I had a shoot out with a shotgun I found for a while, beat the shit out of zombies with a hammer, and then eventually died after I killed all the zombies. While holding a bowl of uncooked soup and a shit ton of other food.

This game looks fucking FANTASIC. Not looks looks, but you know. I would PAY to play this if it becomes an entire game. (going back to try and make my soup this time.)

Also, I didn't really have a tutorial, it just threw me into the game. Unless that is the tutorial.

I actually paid for it.
due to some law that they cant make you pay for a unreleased game.



Anyways.

Zombies are attracted to sound, so dont use guns unless you have to!

Now. lets make this into a competition eh.
Screenshot how far you've gotten, and post a diary/log of day by day tongue.gif

They only want 5 euros for this game? With all the features listed to come, as well as what's already in, that's a freaking bargain. I played a few times, tried to quick draw the looter the first time I got to that point.

I ended up not barricading the windows, but only the doors, so the zombies saw me while I was making soup and were banging on the doors hardcore. So I turned the oven off and went upstairs to listen to the radio. After that I just decided to barricade the room door and hope for the best. The trick that someone else said would work didn't, and he still came in. I guess it's because I went to sleep. Either way, quick draw, and he won.

Next time when I was making the soup, I was standing in front of the stove to see the soup cook. (I couldn't get it to cook? I put the soup in the pot with the can opener, and put the pot with soup in it on the stove, but nothing ever happens when i turn it on.) Anyways, the radio was going off upstairs, and then the wife talks to me as if I'm upstairs listening with her asking me if I turned off the stove.... I figured it wouldn't catch fire if I was there. So. Fire starts. I panic a bit, zombies start coming to the back door, I run up the stairs, start dragging my wife down the stairs to the front door. I un-barricade the front door, and zombies just PLOW in while I try to fight back with a hammer dry.gif;;.

Third time, everything goes well. I turn off stove, go up, barricade door. Un barricade door, go back down, and the looter comes up. I put my hammer away cuz he tells me to. The long conversation goes by, and he starts talking about how my wife's leg looks like it was bit and is talking about killing her. I charge at him with the hammer and hit him out the window by the bed. I then spend the next 7 days running around town finding a bunch of food, pills, and whiskey. I also find an axe and a crap ton of shotgun shells. But I never found a shotgun. I go around town, I tried to make a molotov, but couldn't find any gas. I would of figured you could of just used the alcohol to make a little one at least. Maybe later. Either way, I end up going to the wrong side of town, because there are a bunch of zombies on the west side apparently, I try to fight a zombie with my axe, but he ends up injuring me (after I beat the shit out of 50 or something?), I try limping away to use painkillers and eat some food, but I just end up running into more and ended up dying in the yard where we were staying.

That's what I got so far in my playthroughs. Gonna play some more now to calm myself from getting cheesed in SC2 constantly today.

Since I'm hooked onto a few FPS's at the moment (just bought Old World Blues for Fallout: NV), it might take me a while.

Since I'm hooked onto a few FPS's at the moment (just bought Old World Blues for Fallout: NV), it might take me a while.

I bought fallout 3 + nv + dlc a while back on steam, but fallout 3 keeps crashing at random points and times, and my mouse likes to randomly click on my second monitor minimizing the game. Which in turn crashes it. I just kinda gave up on playing it =/

This is all from the free alpha demo currently out, missing most of the features. I dropped the ~8 bucks in US Dollars for it, but I really feel it's worth a lot more if all their planned features make it into the game.

My most recent playthrough, was pretty much the same, but when the radio was playing the news, I just went back downstairs halfway through, and was looking out the window for zombies in another room. I saw when the looter came in (I could see the front door open), and then I saw he opened the bathroom door next to me (all while still in the front room [it had a door but I didn't barricade it or anything]). Either way, he eventually walked up stairs it seems, because he started talking with my wife. They have a little conversation that starts with him asking if there is anyone else, but she say's "Nope, just poor little old me" or something like that. It seemed like the conversation was leading towards him wanting to rape her, so I snuck into the room (I snuck up the stairs when they first started talking), and bashed the back of his head open with the hammer.

I end up dying pretty early in this run through, because I try to carry a lot of stuff back, but end up getting exhausted easily (since I'm carrying so much stuff). So I'm trying to run away form zombies, but I can only kinda power walk until I get tired. Then I start walking slow, and if I don't stop (because I'm carrying a lot), I end up walking even slower. So. I make it back to the house, but zombies start lining up outside and banging on the doors. I stay inside the house and the barricades hold for another day or so. I end up having a shoot out with the shotgun, but die a horrible death because there were just sooooooo many of them. I actually had another shoot out earlier in another house. I had attracted a lot of zombies with my flashlight (it was midnightish =/), and the house I went into didn't have a back door. That first shoot out though was the beginning of the end though, because it just ended up attracting more zombies when I tried to book it home.

In all pretty damn fun game, and I really can't wait for more to be released.
