How it feels

A bleak, methodical puzzle game where you interact with minimalistic text-and-color scenes to survive a zombie outbreak.

What players say

Players describe a minimalist puzzle game where clues are hidden in text but nothing else is interactable, and several miss a hint system, a save function, and a scrollback log. Reviewers note that some puzzles can be skipped by chance, and the zombie-apocalypse setting feels forced.
