Shambles is a tiny text game about holding on to your humanity even in horrible circumstances.
It’s a great way to fill half an hour or so of your time if you’re looking for something queer, hella quirky and a little bit tragic to play!

The writing is sparse and describes only the essentials. As a zombie, you're characterized by hulk speech like in Lost Pig but you don't ever lose control or act truly monstrous. It rather seems like you're just another survivor. (Spoiler - click to show)And with the amount of memories and self awareness Janet has, seems like letting her out of the pen wouldn't be such a bad idea. She knows how to save food, how to use it for traps, can choose between attacking people or not... You spend a good amount of time observing people with more interesting choices in this game.
A fairly enjoyable 15-30 minutes. I played it a few times but the endings don't seem to have any major differences.
