Zombie Healing Facility: Not for Destruction, but Treatment of Zombies
Title: Remedying the Undead: A Novel Spin on the Zombie Genre with 'Zombie Cure Lab'
Berlin - In a departure from the norm of zombie slaughter, Thera Bytes' 'Zombie Cure Lab' offers an innovative strategy game that focuses on healing rather than killing the undead. Players assume the role of a research team seeking to cure a global pandemic of zombies.
Initially, players must construct and manage a high-tech lab, collecting essential resources such as wood, stone, and food to advance the cure's research. As the cure progresses, zombies can be turned into 'Humbies,' half-human, half-zombie hybrids, who perform simple tasks for the lab.
The captive Humbies are crucial, but maintaining their well-being is essential to prevent internal outbreaks. During nighttime, hordes of zombies attack the lab, and players must strategically deploy defenses like towers, walls, and freezing technology to protect their facility.
In addition to its novel premise, 'Zombie Cure Lab' features over 200 researchable technologies, enabling players to unlock various defenses, production enhancements, and advanced treatment methods. The game's comic-style graphics further emphasize its peaceful approach, while beneath the surface lies a complex economic simulation and management system.
'Zombie Cure Lab' was initially released in early access in 2022 and is now fully available as a PC game on Steam. Priced around 25 euros, the game combines base-building, resource management, and strategic planning with a unique twist of healing the undead to restore humanity.
Resources:- Resource Management: Players need to optimize resource flows to maintain smooth lab operations.- Facility Design: The lab's layout is crucial and can be optimized for efficiency.- Staff Management: Scientists require food, rest, and recreation to maintain morale.- Nightly Attacks: Each night brings waves of zombies, necessitating defensive planning.- Humbie Integration: Humbies have unique needs, adding complexity to the game's management aspect.
In the strategy game 'Zombie Cure Lab', players not only research and manage technologies, but also construct a high-tech lab and take care of 'Humbies', half-human, half-zombie hybrids, using collected resources like wood, stone, and food. To maintain a safe and efficient lab, players must design an optimal lab layout, manage the needs of their staff, plan for nightly zombie attacks, and integrate Humbies into their operations.
