The game is “The Day Before”
I guess a zombie game where you play the 24 hours before patient zero gets sick, like an evil medicine lab simulator who got a 24 hour deadline to produce the first viable zombie or get shut down by the evil investors
First I’ve heard of it lol
Yeah well just because you haven’t heard of it and no one’s heard of it doesn’t mean that it wasn’t hyped, It just means it wasn’t typed very effectively.
I accidentally heard about it a month ago and watched a bunch of videos about the studio and the game. Pretty interesting, and i was really looking forward to see how bad it is. I was kinda surprised how big the following of the game is, and most people i know have no idea that the game exists
Most-Hyped?
Since when?
It was the most wishlisted game on Steam for almost a year. It was the second most wishlisted at the time of launch.
It’s all very sus, probably inflated by bots
Which is interesting because I literally have not heard of it before today.
And looking at the current list, I know about the 6 current top wishlisted games.
Why is it “Steam’s”? The article is as bad as the game supposedly is.
The ‘hype’ was the amount of Steam wishlists it got being insanely high. It’s all very sus, probably inflated by bot accounts
I know a handful of people who thought it looked like an impending disaster and gave it a wishlist so they could see the early negative reviews pour in

Because it was allegedly the most wishlisted game on steam at one point
Project zomboid is just fine
Being called a dumpster fire is being very generous.
I watched just some gameplay, and it’s still better than i expected. So that’s a plus i guess.
The day before refund.
Huh, so turns out the game does exist - though it seems it shouldn’t

9800 reviews so far and only 15% positive
I almost clicked the buy button, glad I didn’t.
Zombie media is trash in general. If you’re a shit writer, zombies are for you. Not surprised when that’s the main selling point.
Zombies are just a sauce on top of the storytelling. Something is not bad just because it has tropes you recognize from other bad things.
Good Zombie Games are aplenty: Left 4 Dead Project Zomboid 7 Days To Die Plants Vs Zombies Day Z State of Decay (ish)

It was actually a format issue with lemmy. My comment had line breaks after each game name, like a list, but the format didn’t keep. Now get off me nuts
Agreed but zombies make it too easy for shit writing to succeed. Zombies are slow, fast, smart, brainless, loud, quiet, strong, weak, all at the plot’s convenience.
There’s a ton of quality zombie media, the subject has nothing to do with the quality of the authors.
The best ones are more about the human stories.
They seem pretty late to the party.
