I tried to create the perfect zombie apocalypse in this intensely detailed outbreak simulator, and sorry slow zombie fans, fast zombies are just better

DeadOS is an indie game developed by Benn Powell, focusing on a realistic simulation of a zombie apocalypse. Inspired by cutscenes from Resident Evil 3, Powell aimed to explore the moments typically overlooked in zombie narratives. The game allows players to manipulate various parameters, such as city size and population density, to observe the consequences of different outbreak scenarios in a procedurally generated 3D cityscape. The simulation initially featured a simple infection model but became more complex with the addition of weapons and law enforcement, affecting human behavior during the outbreak. Players can guide characters through the chaos, engaging in actions like fighting zombies and scavenging for supplies. After nearly seven years of development, Powell plans to enhance the game further, including features for player-designed cities and community-created content. He aims to create a detailed zombie outbreak simulation, likening it to the Dwarf Fortress of undead scenarios.

Demigod review (2009)

Demigod, reviewed in PC Gamer issue #201 (June 2009), features a unique art direction characterized by a "Video Game Beige" color palette. The game allows players to utilize Generals to command minions in chaotic battles, though the visuals can sometimes obscure unit status. It includes four game types, with Conquest and Fortress modes requiring direct assaults on turrets, which can lead to drawn-out matches. Players can upgrade their minions at the Citadel, enhancing their capabilities. The game incorporates RPG elements, allowing players to invest in team benefits or personal enhancements through in-game currency. However, it has minor flaws, including pathfinding issues and inconsistent netcode, affecting online play. Despite these issues, players find enjoyment in the blend of strategy and RPG mechanics.
