Developed by Totally Screwed Software
- Shooter, Role-playing (RPG), Indie, Action
Survival Crisis Z is an open ended intense survival experience that is nearly as much RPG as it is arcade. Make money or steal it. Buy weapons or pick them off a fresh corpse. Work for the leaders of the post-apocalyptic ruin or have them working for you. Marauders, terrorists, merchants and heroes are all equals here. They are all either one of us or one of them, warm-blooded or cold, survivors or monsters. It's the summer of '99, in the slum part of the city... hey it's all you can afford right now. Hot, rainy nights, unbearable humidity. Then things went weird... Your neighbor's dog was usually a bit much, but biting a half pound chunk of flesh out of the mailman wasn't what you'd expected. They put the mutt down, gave the poor mailman some rabies shots, it was a great story to tell at the bar. But the next time you saw the mailman's eyes... ...vacant white... ...rimmed with crusted blood... ...maybe he was taking revenge on the neighbor. You saw him sink his teeth into her neck. He was making his rounds, she had come out to offer a batch of I'm-sorry-my-dog-bit-you cookies... when suddenly he began to convulse. You saw it all from your second story window. He twitched, coughed, puked. Then he lurched. After that you spent quite a bit of time indoors. People were bit, then they changed. First it was a bloodbath, then it was a mob. Humans became the minority. After a week of horrors, as seen through your window, you decided to return to what's left of society in hopes of, for starters, survival. You equip yourself with the tools of the trade, along with some stuff you've picked up here and there, and head out into the chaos.
