MY TIME ALIVE

[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/b] MY TIME ALIVE is a Digital Homicide style asset flip, or what Valve calls a "Fake Game". The "developer" paid for/pirated a few Unity asset store assets, dumped them all in a blender, and submitted it to Valve as if they're real game developers.[/quote] Two notable criteria for what makes an asset flip instead of legitimate use of stock assets are whether those assets comprise the majority of the game, and whether the "developer" properly credited the people who created most of the assets in the game. This game fails both of those tests. The "developers" here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets here, so this is plagiarism, as well as cash grab shovelware. In this case, the asset flipper took a bunch of generic Unity Asset Store assets and made... you guessed it... a zombie survival shooter. I never get tired of seeing those same old zombie assets. There's some utter cringe voice acting in this one, which kind of makes it seem the developer wasn't aware what they were doing or that gamers don't like asset flip garbage... but asset flip gar…

MY TIME ALIVE is a modest, story-driven survival shooter that attempts to blend post-apocalyptic tension with light RPG progression, delivering an experience that feels grounded in familiar ideas but shaped by the limitations of a small-scale indie project. Developed and published by Barty Games, it frames its world around the aftermath of a failed scientific breakthrough—one that was meant to cure disease but instead triggered widespread infection. This premise, while not entirely original, gives the game a narrative anchor that sets it slightly apart from more generic survival titles. You step into the role of a former scientist tied to the catastrophe, now navigating a ruined city alongside scattered survivors. This perspective adds a layer of narrative intent to the experience, as your character is not just trying to survive but also seeking to understand and potentially correct what went wrong. The story unfolds through mission briefings, environmental context, and occasional interactions with other characters, offering a basic framework that supports the gameplay. While it introduces an interesting angle, the narrative remains relatively straightforward and does not develop …

I just gave Truth Seekers by this same developer a shot and I liked what I saw. Then I noticed they had a singleplayer story based game and I really wanted to try it. Its a bit short but the story is well paced and pretty good honestly. There is voice acting throughout the game. Some is better than others, but I appreciate the effort. The way the game switches up the gameplay at the end was a nice breath of fresh air. Overall I say the game is worth it!

Having cancer is more fun than this game and I'd definitely know having survived brain cancer.

I really enjoyed this one, and the story was well paced. Good shooting mechanics. The zombies feet are a little broken but it doesn't change the game just annoying to see. Solid amount of time for the price. 8/10

I got this gifted from a friend and we were going to make fun of it. honestly, we didn't and were impressed. it was extremely indie and short, but what it offered was put together nicely. nice pace, nice shooting and decent level design. the last level really made it worth it.
