Outbreak: The New Nightmare

I started running and immediately alt F4 out of the game over that goofy ass running amination.

Outbreak: The New Nightmare is a deliberately old-school survival horror experience that positions itself as a tribute to the genre’s late-1990s roots. From its fixed camera angles to its restrictive inventory system, the game makes it clear that it is less interested in modern conveniences and more focused on recreating the tension, vulnerability, and methodical pacing that defined early survival horror. Rather than reinventing the formula, it commits to scarcity, isolation, and pressure, asking players to survive not through firepower but through careful decision-making. The setting places players in a city already lost to infection, where emergency services have collapsed and the remaining survivors are trapped in hostile, claustrophobic locations.

Nightmare chews my brain like popcorn, I am saveless zombie in love. Let it lag, I enjoy being dumb dinner for bugs.

Fundamentals are there but requires polish. Level designs for the campaign is sufficient enough but hampered by many it's camera angles - which was the main difficulty of the game, not the zombies or special infected. 5/10 game.

All the "Outbreak" games suck. This one is no exception; I've had more fun going to the bathroom than playing this.

I can appreciate what they were trying to go for here. You can feel the parts of the game that are supposed to be RE:Outbreak. But uh... Everything about the game is kinda awful. It all feels janky and horrible, and the animations and lighting are just terrible. Even the AI's movement is just so danm janky.
