About Evacuation Zone: Tampere

Get into boots of Matti! Who goes on the action packed surreal adventure to save his favorite podcaster from certain death in apocalyptic city of Tampere, Finland! First the death rose and then the gates to hell are opening! Only your friends and your love for parasocial relationship and ending of your psychosis drugs can keep you going. Beware! First time you moved your middle aged ass in decades was when you and your best friend? Van Mardigain went to loot a booze store on the first day of apocalypse. And you still are slow and fat but full of will power and substances and Finnish SISU! You get:
  • puzzles that are difficult for boomers!
  • action that requires iron aim and ability to listen to black metal while pressing trigger!
  • You meet your coolest friends from your mind and from your life if you can call it so.
  • Features Various foods to eat: sausages, canned beans, beer.
Authentic dialogue in glorious Finnish(we've kindly provided subtitles for the few who can't speak the language).Immersive gameplay mechanics 
  • move your boomer body by clinging with your sausage fingers on rails!
  • push stimpacks on yourself and use the environment as your tool to survive!
  • Somewhat cool guns (with limited ammo) and very enjoyable shooting mechanics (yeah test users did not know how to reload so we removed the whole feature, well done people!!!)
  • Scary and challenging enemies such as zombies and non-zombies.
  • Many puzzles, or at least like situations where you can think a bit before advancing. MATURE CONTENT DESCRIPTION The developers describe the content like this:
  • Contains graphic violence against Zombies and monsters including, blood/gore. Alcohol, tobacco and drug references are made. Nasty Finnish humour, not for snowflakes.

Ok so i want to love this game, but the combat is just not it. And im not talking about jankyness or anything, thats part of the charm. My problem is that the bandits kill you within 0,1 seconds of being in their line of sight... Every level that had them i had to walk up to their spawn trigger, go back behind a corner, wait for them to start pouring in and killing them before they manage to look at me. And even then i would sometimes die from getting one shot or being shot through a wall. I saw a review calling this game easy which makes me wonder if my game is bugged in some way or what, but i literally had to find a spot where i could shoot an enemy without them being able to shoot me just to have a chance at killing them (talking about the miniboss at the end of the trench level) Anyways, would love to give it another shot but cant bring myself to learn all spawnpoints for all enemies just to have a chance at crawling through the levels. Its a shame since everything else is very charming...

An elaborate exposé of the Finnish national soul, or something like that. It's short and janky but held together by unbelievable levels of soul and profane humor which makes it a fun VR experience.

The game is riddled with bugs that block progression. Also there's not much of a game to begin with. Bought it cheap af, but at this point of bugginess this is a question of principle, opted for a refund. I am from the city Tampere and this was a a colossal disappointment. I guess the developer was just after an easy buck.

This is just dumb fun, in the nicest meaning of "dumb". It's short and easy, but with a lot of heart and humour, and especially fun if you've been to Tampere and know a few of the locations. Oh and for the record, no, the real Tampere does not have palm trees. Maybe it was the radiation...

Taiteellinen mestariteos. Kaunis näkemys tampereesta.
