How it feels

A chaotic, absurdly humorous sandbox where you gleefully chase and eat the brains of weird citizens.

What players say

Players love the idea of playing as a zombie gaining powers by eating brains, often comparing it favorably to Stubbs the Zombie. They split on execution: some find it a fun brain-off romp, while others report the game became buggy after an update, with broken vehicles, frequent glitches, and missing control options.
