Zombie Exodus: Safe Haven Demo

It would appear that there’s no such thing as too many zombie games or movies, because they keep coming out every year, and they are as popular as ever. Granted, they are certainly better nowadays than they have ever been, not to mention that there are many different types of zombies, so that everyone can choose their favorite.

Zombie Exodus: Safe Haven is a text-based adventure game in which you are provided with the chance to witness the end of the world without actually being affected by it. Moreover, the game contains a staggering amount of content, as well as many character classes to choose from and many paths you can take over the course of the plot.

Speaking of which, you can choose to be a bank robber, scientist, a teenager, or any of the nineteen possible choices. On top of these, you can also create your own class from scratch and customize it as you see fit. Obviously, just like in most Choice of Games titles, you are free to go with the desired genre and sexual orientation, as well as ignore this side entirely.

The skills you improve along the way have an impact on the story as well, because sometimes they allow you to pick certain paths that are otherwise grayed out. Hence, being able to move stealthily comes in handy whenever you want to avoid confrontation, but every other ability is useful at one point or another. The connections you form along the way are mighty important too, since friends can always make a difference when you need help.

As it is always the case with Choice of Games titles, there are no graphics to talk about, only miles of text to shuffle through. Reading is a great way to train your imagination, on the other hand, and the images in your head can be more vivid than any graphics engine out there. However, the lack of a soundtrack is a bit annoying, especially since this is a pretty suspenseful adventure.

In the end, Zombie Exodus: Safe Haven can easily keep you busy for a few hours, but the story is not yet complete. Thus, the writing is exceptional, but it needs more content before you can appreciate the whole thing.
