末日竟在我身边 - Zombies Everywhere

RPG Maker strikes again! 末日竟在我身边 - Zombies Everywhere is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. Eschewing the general asset flipped fantasy theme, we have an asset flipped modern day zombie theme... this does not make RPG Maker any better. The idea is you pick one of about 12 characters (male or female versions of 6 professions that would seem useful in a zombie attack) and then plod through the very short game with a handful of puzzles and some very lightweight "RPG" elements. RPG Maker is truly terrible even at doing RPGs, but it's the only thing it can do slightly properly... you would think "developers" would want their RPG Maker asset flips to focus on that. But not always, I guess. As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics …

The game is disappointingly short, even without reading a walkthrough, i finished the game under 1 hour, it was a big let down.

A very simple, short game, but decently made for an indie developer, it's nothing super high quality, but it's functional and that's what matters for a game - fun and functional. It's nice if you want a short game that takes less than an hour. The writing is barely there and isn't deep, but there are no plot holes, so there's a silver lining. It took me several playthroughs of learning mechanics before I was finally able to beat it for the first time. I will say that the addition of the Adrenaline mechanic made the game more difficult to complete, but it does make it so you have to learn how to manage your resources to get to the end of the game. An effective use of resource management. I will say that the RNG in combat is a bit frustrating and can cause you to not be able to complete the game if you run out of Adrenaline, and there are no items to restore Adrenaline, so it does end up frustrating when you have to start over just so you can beat the game. Other than that, it's a simple but enjoyable game, if you're used to permadeath games. It is doable. There are some typos in the English version, "File" is typoed to "Flie" in the save menu. The Bandage item description is sti…
