About Whiskey & Zombies: The Great Southern Zombie Escape
WHISKEY & ZOMBIES is a fun and intense brawler with a fair amount of stealther strategy involved as you need to try and escape a very different zombie apocalypse. Turns out that only whiskey moonshine kills the virus so you need to stay drunk while you brawl, drink, sneak, scavenge, and rage your way through the Deep South. But the more you drink — the harder the game gets.
The survival of the human race now rests on the last southern family who knows how to make the whiskey moonshine — the McCrearys — a bunch of permadrunk, bootlegging rednecks who all dislike each other. They must now get home to the Louisiana swampland and their illegal moonshine still — to save humanity.
There will be comedy and action mixed together with suspense and nail-biting moments that could easily turn into a screaming, button-mashing frenzy. You can play solo or grab some friends and create some whiskey-fueled zombie-mayhem together in local multiplayer. And if someone turns zombie, all it takes is a bottle of whiskey to bring them back.

Features
__________________________________________________
- Top-Down Mayhem: Swig, slug, swing, and shoot your way through the hordes of undead just waiting to take a bite out of your thinking-noodle.
- Unique Drunk System: You gotta stay drunk to stay alive but the “safer” you are, the harder the game gets. Too drunk and you can’t shoot for shit and you might even pass out. Not drunk enough and the virus creeps up, impacting your stamina and, of course, might turn you into a zombie.
- Different Characters & Abilities: Play as one of the 4 McCrearys, each with very different and unique traits. Some are slow and powerful while others are light and fast but can’t hold their whiskey very well.
- Story-Driven: Discover the McCrearys’ Southern roots and their individual motivations as you help them on their way through the ass-end of Louisiana to their home in the Bayou.
- Fun but Challenging: It might be easy to sneak around and rack up a few kills, but the more you progress — the more resistance you will meet.

✦ AI summary
Players appreciate the game's content, secrets, and effort put into its design, but are frequently frustrated by technical issues including janky controls, poor hit detection, and quality-of-life problems like awkward gamepad setup. The zombie survival mechanics are considered basic and dry, with controversial design choices like mandatory drinking creating annoying time-limit pressure, weak melee combat, and ammo scarcity that some find tedious rather than engaging.
It's okay, has some nice secrets and things to do, but it's just too janky (poor controls, hit detection, QoL, etc) for me to enjoy playing.1 found this helpful
The game is great, but using a gamepads is inconvenient: to start a mission with an X‑Box controller, you first have to select it on the keyboard and then switch back to the gamepads.1 found this helpful
Recommended if you get it cheap. It is a dry and basic take of the zombie survival genre where the zombies are mere distractions you should try to ignore as much as possible. For some reason the first level has the difficulty Very High. The difficulty seems to mean that the level is big and the zombies respawn fast. I do not enjoy the mandatory drinking because it becomes an annoying time-limit mechanic and forces you to restock more bottles all the time. It seems like the developer at least put a lot of stuff and effort into the game. There seems to be briefing cutscenes for every level. While not exactly the most fun game due to the mechanics such as almost worthless melee weapons and ammo starvation, it is not a bad game. I suggest you try the demo before purchasing. The game starts to chug and lag once the game summons more zombies to go after you. Killing them is almost useless because the game will simply respawn them almost instantly. So the strategy is trying to get the zombies get stuck in some useless part of the map so that less of them spawn to go after you. Besides the graveyard level, you are not incentivized to kill zombies. You will run out of booze and ammo …1 found this helpful
Whiskey & Zombies, developed and published by Nuttery Entertainment, is a distinctive entry in the zombie survival genre that blends humor, strategy, and action in a way that feels both fresh and entertaining. Set in the sweltering swamps of Louisiana, the game throws players into the chaotic role of the McCreary family—eccentric, perpetually drunk bootleggers whose unique brand of moonshine just might be humanity’s last hope against a zombie outbreak. The premise alone sets a lighthearted yet gripping tone, as the game’s narrative cleverly weaves together Southern charm, survival instincts, and absurdity, all while navigating the relentless hordes of the undead. Gameplay in Whiskey & Zombies revolves around a compelling balance between combat and stealth, framed by a top-down perspective that offers players a tactical overview of the environment. Players control various characters from the McCreary clan, each with distinct abilities and quirks that allow for different approaches to encounters. What truly sets this game apart is its innovative “drunk system,” which requires players to carefully manage their characters’ sobriety levels. Maintaining this balance is essential—if a ch…
