Broadly talking, there’s nothing fairly so predictable as a KEMCO launch. Heck, it’s a part of the attraction of the writer. Like a month-to-month collection of pulpy novels, KEMCO’s RPGs provide you with a decent-sized chunk of fantasy RPG enjoyment on a semi-frequent foundation. Orphaned heroes, mysterious women with amnesia, wise-cracking sidekicks, and a few kind of risk to the peace of the dominion are half and parcel of the KEMCO expertise. However on occasion, we get one thing somewhat totally different from the writer, and one among its upcoming video games is a critical break from its typical fare.
One of many two upcoming releases KEMCO featured at its Tokyo Sport Present 2022 sales space, Zombie of the Dot is a horror-RPG developed by long-time associate Hit-Level. As a substitute of knights, magic, dragons, and castles, Zombie of the Dot sees you attempting to outlive a zombie apocalypse. You realize, that’s not a subject that will get lined sufficient in RPGs. Intrigued by the idea, I waited a relatively lengthy time frame for the guy in entrance of me to complete taking part in in order that I may give it a attempt. He was considerably engrossed within the recreation, however I lastly received my likelihood to play. Fortunately, Son of Musgrave was readily available to file it.
You get up in a hospital mattress with no clear concept of how you bought there. You hit the button to name the nurse, however nobody comes. After a couple of tries, you resolve to get off the bed and attempt to discover somebody to assist. Rooting round your private objects, you’ve a badge and a police uniform. Placing them on, you head out into the hallway solely to see an absolute scene of carnage. Blood is splattered in all places, objects are strewn about, and there are even some messages written in blood. Even worse, there doesn’t appear to be anybody round. Time to discover!
I didn’t play too far in in the course of the video, principally as a result of a busy exhibition present flooring isn’t an ideal place to get right into a horror recreation. What I did play, I discovered relatively refreshing for the requirements of this writer. It nails its sound design fairly properly particularly, although the video didn’t do an ideal job of choosing any of that up. It’s for sure a horror recreation, and the battles are a bit totally different from what you’ll anticipate too. I didn’t catch one on video, sadly.
Zombie of the Dot is scheduled for launch on iOS and Android this winter, with a console launch following early subsequent 12 months. Its uncommon theme doesn’t simply make it refreshing for this writer, however certainly for the style normally. For that alone, it’s in all probability value keeping track of. We’ll let you understand when this will get nearer to launch.
