Sept. 2024

A text-based adventure-style survival horror management game where you are the one running this monkey farm! PROS + Cheap and compact + Generally fair but unforgiving difficulty + Minimalistic yet effective sound design + Clever, immersive TTRPG-inspired interface + Infinite replayability thanks randomly-generated playthroughs + Built-in editor to create your own custom survivours and adventures + Highly-engaging, if not downright addictive gameplay that perfectly encapsulates the tone and atmosphere of George A. Romero's "Day of the Dead" CONS - Only one save slot - Five survivour limit - Only three game modes - Occasional Fallout 1-level interface jank - "Zafehouse Diaries", not a particularly inspired title - Half-baked relationship mechanic that feels very contrived at times - Limited micromanagement options (e.g. no way to assign equipment to a specific character)
