Got the bundle for a discount and happy to say I'm satisfied.

Writing is a bit cringey at the start, but you get used to it fast. After a while i actually was laughing out loud. Main characters are realistic. Instead of being heroes, they decide to use other people for their own goals, even if it means their death. Somehow i managed to kill most of the side characters on my first playthrough. I swear i'm a good person. The voice acting is surprisingly good, i actually really liked it The choices in this game kind of matter. The ending is gonna be the same, but your choices will lead to either killing someone or saving them. For a zombie game, there's actually not that many zombie encounters. And if you do encounter zombies, you don't have to worry, because main characters are not in danger Overall a good game for it's price. I know it's free for now, but the original price is fair. The game is hialrious at times and pretty short 7/10

fun little witty visual novel. can be completed in 2 hours, but fun none the less

The game delivers a fun and humorous journey, blending adventure with a touch of dark comedy. The environment gives off a good vibe, and the dialogues are genuinely humorous. It's a fun ride in its genre, providing players with enjoyable hours as they navigate through the game. What’s particularly appealing is the replayability factor; completing the game more than once to explore the consequences of different choices keeps players engaged. However, the inability to skip repetitive dialogues in subsequent playthroughs can be a bit frustrating. Overall, it delivers a good and entertaining time for several hours.

I remember playing 'scheming through the zombie apocalypse beginning' on consoles and I loved it, since then I have been waiting patiently for the 2nd episode. Which was released a few months ago. A dog and a Rabbit (Hank & Larry) going though the zombie apocalypse... What can go wrong ? Be Aware : I know it says on the steam tags ''Point & Click'' but this is more like a visual novel. The only thing you will have to click is when you loot something and have to move stuff in your inventory. Nevertheless the story is pretty funny and the discount price at the moment is £0.60 which is a pretty good deal for the amount of content you get. It will take you around 2h to complete, a bit more if you are after the achievements. Now the only thing I don't understand is when I finished my first playthrough on console, I remember that you can skip the dialogue for the 2nd playthrough, which doesn't work on PC. I don't know if it's bugged out but at the end of my first PC playthrough I had the advertising for the 2nd episode, that's all, and I had to force quit the game. On PC the only option is to untick the voices on the settings so you can click the dialogue to go faster, but this is not as good as the skipping option. Anyway, this is not a big deal but just know that if you want to 100% the game then you will have to go thought the whole story again.
