Zombie games have been popular among horror video game fans since the 1990s or even earlier thanks to the likes of Resident Evil and The House of the Dead. We're shining the spotlight on one of those games for today's #SteamSpotlight feature.
Horror games have the ability not just to scare but to also make us feel other emotions that you might not associate with the genre. Such is the case with Undying, a zombie game who will tug on your heartstrings as it focuses on a mother's love and determination for her child to survive.
Here's what you have to know about the game.
#SteamSpotlight Feature: Undying
Released on December 7, 2023, Undying is developed by Vanimals and published by the same company, along with Skystone Games. It is a story-rich, survival action RPG that focuses on the character of Anling. Battling a zombie infection, she must ensure the safety of her son, Cody, as they navigate a zombie-infested world.
In order to survive, you will have to rely on crafting so that the mother-and-son duo have enough resources to get by. You will also have to explore the world you're moving, including certain dungeons you will come across.
