Holding it back
Value$1.31/hr

About the game

A hilariously terrifying adventure filled with laughs, blood, insanity, and of course... hordes of the undead.
Description from the Steam store page.
Minimum specs

Minimum on the Steam store: 512 MB of memory, DirectDraw compatible. PixelShader 1.4/DirectX 9.0c capable., 1.4 GB of storage. Windows only.

The value story

95 discounts in the 12 years on record, a median of 50 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 7 weeks ago.

Value puts it in the top 9 percent of the games it competes with. It is better reviewed than 82 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Kindergarten 2 ($14.99, scores 73) beats it on value, while it beats Ben and Ed ($9.99, scores 55).

The drop-off

44% start to 10% rarest
050100rarestfirst achievement

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

Game is short, but very funny. Highly recommend. It's definitely worth the couple of dollars.

I think I bought this on-sale to sop up the last few dollars on a pre-paid Visa card before I just linked my Paypal account. Turned out to be good value for the money. This is one of the only adventure games I didn't just watch a walkthru video for, and I felt terribly clever indeed figuring everything out on my own. Another thing to reccomend this is that there are no puzzles that only make sense if you've been...

I have played this game a few times over the years and it always is a good time. Zombies and ...Invader Zim type humor? excellent. It's a fun point and click game
