Scheming Through the Zombie Apocalypse: The Beginning

Release Date: June 8, 2018

Developer: Entertainment Forge

Publisher: GrabTheGames

Price: $4.99

my playtime: 3.3 hours

I really wanted to like this game more than I did. The grungy animation and crass humor seemed right up my alley. While there were a few good laughs and funny sections, some was just stilted. Obviously very Shawn of the Dead inspired, I do give it props for not being afraid to test the line. The gameplay itself was ok, with the primary premise being being being being a lookout while a scavenger gets loot from locations. It’s more of a visual novel than anything else, and it had voice acting that was well executed. The premise, the visuals, the characters, it was a recipe to make me happy but landed flat. There is an episode two which I plan to play at some point in the future.
