I absolutely love this game! It reminds me of the old text based adventure games. I was completely hooked minutes after starting this game and found it really hard to put down. I've just finished my first run through and I'm going to start again. It's impressive just how involved you feel in this text-based game. I hope the developers make more games in this style. It was well worth the money.

I loved it. It's a charming experience where you bond and collaborate with the protagonist via text. It's your duo versus a zombie apocalypse. The whole thing is staged by your choices, with your only line of communication being the text you and the protagonist send each other to keep posted about what exactly is happening. From cause to effect of the decisions and reactions that each scenario takes place in, only the protagonist is the one doing everything on his end. You are his support. Nice.

The writing is okay, if you've never read a book. It's not awful, just lacking in subtlety or complexity. Very much a 'this happened then that happened' story. Has nothing meaningful to say, and little in the way of characterisation. Reading time is around 40-50 minutes, maybe a little more with some skippable waiting around. The plotline is vaguely Season 1 of The Walking Dead TV show, but comes barreling to a close incredibly quickly leaving the actually (only one) good idea at the end lacking emotional impact. Would have liked to have seen that mechanic used more effectively, had the potential to be a real emotional gut punch had there been a more developed and deeper character to care about. Not sure if there's a sequel or similar from the same team, I'd buy it and hope they learned something from this one.
