"LEADING the DEAD" is just a low key asset flip.. the quality of the assets is significantly higher than the actual game is, and I've seen those assets used in so many other games (deja vu!). Who's going to create a bunch of high quality assets and then phone in the actual game? It doesn't add up... unless you consider how easy it is for anyone, even people unqualified to make games, to get any and all the game assets they want. The game is essentially a kitbash of assets made by other people, poorly assembled by an amateur developer. These projects are usually rushed through Steam Direct as fast as possible, and the lack of professional standards means the end result is something no gamer should waste their time on. In this case an almost novel game was made out of other people's Zombie assets (and those shipping containers you see everywhere that say "Cargo" on the side). It's a kiting simulator as you run around some zombies and get you to follow them, then lead them into traps and things to take care of them. Almost an interesting idea, except then you realize you could do that in games like 7 Days to Die except that also has like an entire survival game on it as well... …
