A downloadable day off for Windows

Hello!

In this game, I wanted to recreate the atmosphere of horror and road movies of the 80s.

The game genre is a 2D top-down shooter.

Here you will find masses of zombies, physics, quests, a lot of action, stealth, cars and various references.

It is not  a regular 2D top-down shooter - all objects in game world are physical. It means you can use enivronment to get advantages - use bottles as throwing weapon,  hide behind obstacles from zombies, or just block entries to avoid a battle. 

Every npc can hear and see.  Loud sound will alert the zombie - be silent and hidden, sneak up behind and kill him by knife. Or just kill them all by AK-74 if you are skilled enough. 

The character will have to fight the infected with a large arsenal, including a flamethrower.

Assets are hand-drawn specifically for this game.

The game consists of several levels, which are combined into a single complete story (there are only four levels at the moment, but there will be many more).

I hope you enjoy the project!

Feel free to share your feedback

Gave it a short try. The car driving is smooth and intuitive. But I could never ever get used to the games character controls. When I press A and it goes "somewhere" in relation to a whatever current mouse position, this feels just totally uncontrollable to me. I am a simple man: Go left with A, Go right with D - if it isn't like this, I am totally confused.

Hello! Please change the control type in settings. Thanks 

Takes alot of time to load. Not only that but my character is a terrible driver and always crashes his car into a tree during the beginning cutscene, essentially softlocking me from actually playing it.

10/10 mad skillz

thanks for comment. Will check this issue

thanks a lot! 

By the way I found possible reason of issue with car in kat scene. If window with game is minimized and the restored during kat sene - player gets controll of the car and it losts their path. It is my fault in code =( 


Loading time.Yes, 10-15 seconds. Should be done with multithreading

Thank you!

is this game compatible for low end pc with 128mb vram?

(1 edit)

No, at least 512mb

ah ok

Can please anyone tell me how to fix this issue?

Once I tried to run the game, I got an error saying "Failed to launch JMV". Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Could you try to find the file like hs_err_pidXXXXX.log in the game folder?

Yeah I went to every folder but couldn't find it. What does that file do?

Just crash log. Oh without it it is difficult to say something(
