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.

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. :P
