When I played The Escapists, I noted that the cute art style didn’t quite make up for the overly slavish dedication to reality the gameplay had. Turns out they had some zombies on the way to fix that issue.
The game’s story will feel familiar: You’re Rick, just as he wakes up in the hospital, and are promptly faced with a lot of zombies. Your job, of course, is to find whatever you can and get out before they find and eat you and/or members of your party. And before you ask, this isn’t a mod: It’s a real update to the game. Later on you’ll be fortifying emplacements and keeping up morale.
It’s an interesting twist on a game that needed one, but considering the track record of Walking Dead games, one hopes Team 17 is tweaking the mechanics a bit to ensure it’s a smoother experience. On the other hand, beating adorable 8-bit zombies to death kind of sells itself. We’ll find out this year; Team 17 has the game as “coming soon.”
