The game boxes players into corners and then expects them to "keep at it". No thanks. Pretty alright graphics, but zombies aren't even scary. Nothing really "scary" about this game actually, for it being a horror-themed survival title. Then again, it is also played ENTIRELY from a menu...so I wouldn't really call it a point-and-click adventure. Somehow I find that misleading...like I'm sitting down for Monkey Island.
Sound effects get repetitive quickly, with little attention paid to their quality. Sounds an awful lot like they are .wav's ripped from Doom...
The overall design of this game is somewhat flawed, in spite of a novel premise and a keen semi-storyline. However, I found that the aspects of "luck" aren't very well implemented...as others have stated, you can find yourself with a million bullets and no food. Speaking of food, I seemed to have used the same amount of "GENERIC CANNED GOODS" in two days as I had previously done in 3 or 4.
Attention to detail WAS NOT PAID here, and I feel...not to hurt feelings...that this was sort of rushed. Elements of realism that often go into survival games were either lackluster here or just not present. Food system, for example, is ridiculous in that a person DEFINITELY SURE CAN survive for more than ZERO DAYS without food.
Working out also sucks, as you seem to only gain HP....and only one points worth at that per click. While I'm there, why is everything so passive? Where's the animation of him actually working out, or a mini-game that rewards the player?
There is more to go into here, but I really don't see the point. I will say that the game has some great elements, like the variety of status text that appears when fighting zombies or the general premise of the game. The ability to submit your high-score is also very cool. However, these are far overshadowed by the games weakest points.
out of 10...
gfx - 7 (decent drawings, little animation)
sfx - 5 (low quality rips & repetitive loops)
design - 5 (feels rushed, overreaching, and cheap)
gameplay - 4 (boils down to mindless clicking)
Overall, I found this game irritating in its lackluster deliverance of its own description. I was very excited, as Children of Brinn was quite good. This one has broken mechanics, bland gameplay, and lost my interest within ten minutes. Perhaps with updates it would be better, but they will have to be heavy ones.
