A Land Far Away

Check this out. Zombie action! Make the right choices or die!

A nice idea, but poorly executed - judging from the small number of sections (13) and linear story, they must not have had much of a budget.

Thanks for the link. Maybe they will work on it more?

No idea. Its all small indie stuff so I imagine they didnt have a huge budget to do a lot. I wish it had been longer, too. Maybe they will make a sequel.

It'd help if there was more than one path leading to the endings and also had meaningful choices - your survival was based more on luck than on any actual reasoning.

Several of the deaths were plainly bullshit: alone in a darkened room with one zombie and an injured friend, you are given the option of helping or running. Helping means you set your gun and flashlight on the floor to pick them up instead of, you know, killing the fucking zombie.

I liked it. Didn't like so much the gather wood/push furniture choice aspect of it... but otherwise it was good.

fail, wasting bullets on wounded people

fail, making alot of noise

fail, the lights are on

fail, using downstairs room

fail, having a complaining moralist and a mentaly unstable guy with you

fail, not checking every single room in the place before relaxing

fail, writers trying to score as many stupid horror cliches as possible

I guess we can't all be highly trained zombie survivalists who are prepared for the eventuality and know exactly what to do when all the dead rise and take over the world. Some people are even noobs who panic and flounder about.
