Burn(t)

Another zombie game. Coming out during Stone Age CoG, it is hard to praise this title. It provides some mildly interesting choices and action scenes, with multiple endings, but the downsides are plenty. The writing is rough, the story and plot feel pretty flimsy and there are a good number of early dead ends. There is one ‘good’ ending which is another take on the ‘just a dream’ trope, but honestly, it’s as nonsensical as the rest of the story.

You get to choose a weapon at the start of the game, but as far as I can tell, it doesn’t have much of an impact on the rest of the game.

You will run into a few folks on this adventure, whom you can choose to join up with or go your separate ways. If you do join up with them, the game does give you a few choices to betray that alliance here and there. Reaching the ‘good’ ending required me to ‘recruit’ as many people as possible, but that ending was hardly more satisfying than the rest of the game.

You could try it for a bit of mild entertainment, but that’s all I can say for it.
