Prepare yourself for the most thrilling night of your life! Something strange has happened and people everywhere are turning into blood thirsty walking corpses. But guess who’s the brains behind this hungry undead army? YOU! So spread this pandemic to wipe humanity of this planet. Because the only way to survive the zombie apocalypse, is to BE the apocalypse!

But the brainless undead are quite dumb… even dumber than you might expect given their lack of grey matter. Because when left to their own devises, they will just endlessly walk forward and fall into permanently deadly booby traps placed by not-so-helpless humans. So to accomplish your mission of world extermination, you will need to help guide them to their next yummy meal. Luckily you can utilize numerous special mutations to make your troops evolve and fulfil their appetite for flesh. But beware! Humans will not facilitate your dark will….they will fight to survive.

Spread terror through 40 levels and enrol more zombies into your undead army. Along the way you’ll have to solve brain tingling puzzles, and fight increasingly powerful foes that are hell-bent on staying alive. The closer you get to total world extinction, the harder survivors will fight to put you in the ground….for good.

Blood, tears, non-sexual moans, inappropriate laughter, and tons of puzzles that will literally blow your brains out... This is Zombie Night Terror!

Command a Zombie Horde: You are the brain, they are the muscles. Your zombie horde will obey your commands without any strike risk or complaints …
Unique Mutation System: Having an army of deadly zombies is awesome. Having an army of mutated zombies is way better! Take advantage of our mutation system to overcome the enemy’s defences, by creating powerful new zombie types. Each has their unique power and abilities that can help you overcome different situations.
Combo System: Because you thought mutations were your only way to facilitate your meat feast, we spiced it up allowing you to combine those and see what your enemies are made of (literally). Let’s show those pesky humans how to have fun!
You are not alone: Having zombies is kind of like having a pet; it’s fun but you need to take care of them… That’s what humans are for, as they are the perfect way to keep your zombies well fed and busy. But beware! Humans are well armed and they do not appreciate the toothy company of the undead.
Contaminate: Don’t have enough company? Do you need a bigger horde? Well, just convert Humans to your cause then! You don’t necessary need to bring flowers and be charming, as a single bite right into the neck (or anywhere that pleases you) should be enough to do the trick!
Destructible Environments: In times of a zombie apocalypse, humans love to take their time playing hide and seek. However when the hunger for tasty flesh is this painful, you don’t have time for such childishness. So use the power or your horde to destroy their playground and spread terror among them…

WeGotThisCovered - 4.5/5

While well-placed mutations convert the humans to undead minions in Zombie Night Terror, the game itself could be just the infection needed to help more zombie-centric titles into the market. Controlling the groaning hordes is frighteningly fun and this is a 'must-play' for any apocalypse aficionados.

TheSixthAxis - 8/10

Plotting the downfall of the human race is a rare treat in videogames, and there’s a lot of fun to be had in bringing this to pass in Zombie Night Terror. The zombie apocalypse by way of Lemmings, NoClip have done a great job of mixing their inspirations into something new and imaginative.

Gamereactor - 8/10

After hours of leading dim-witted undead through the black and white aesthetic of Zombie Night Terror in an attempt to start a zombie apocalypse, we look forward to coming back for more.

let's rock

Can't wait to get home from work to start playing

I've been looking forward to this. Watching characters panic and kill fellow humans is the funniest part.

This looks pretty awesome, gonna wishlist it for now.

I was only able to play for about 30 minutes yesterday since I had to download it and get ready for today's work but I like the fact that the game is pretty challenging. The way you need to use overlord explosions in the metro level to move to different parts of the level is pretty well thought out. The only problem I had so far are some random crashes, during those 30 minutes I had two.

Pretty awesome concept. Good to see a zombie game where the roles are reversed. Will definitely put this on my wishlist to play at a later date. Hopefully those stability issues get fixed quickly.

Seeing the animations looping really makes their quality shine

 

[FiraB]

Good game if not extremely unforgiving at times, leaves very little room for error on many missions.

 

[bunkitz]

Sheesh, that news reporter.

Never heard of this before, but it looks really good and interesting. Definitely gonna pick it up eventually.

Not sure I like the sound of that, but the idea is really cool so I'll definitely check the game out at least

 

[mcz117chief]

So far I'm about 1/3 of the way through the 2nd episode and the difficulty is starting to get pretty high. Luckily it didn't crash since my 1st day playing.

 

[ChryZ]

How have I never heard of this?! The game looks amazing!

It is, mate. It is also pretty hard at times so be ready for that.

 

[mcz117chief]

So I finally finished the game. Remarkable game indeed. The biggest difficulty spike is during the second half of the second episode.

My favourite episode is definitely the third. So much fun. I was never a fan of the Lemmings gameplay but this game is just too good

Also, the devs released a prototype of the map creator so I think I will have some fun with that and a fifth episode will be released early next year.

It took a while but the next DLC expansion just got released called Moonwalkers. Will zombies reach space? Maybe they will
