The game is a very engaging one. I enjoyed the diary style of game progression. It needs refining and bug fixes. But overall there is a great game here for people who aren't hung up on graphics.

Genius game, goes beyond the ideal of mindless zombie killing, adds in aspects of psychological teamwork and a sense of real danger.

Take a group of survivors. Give them their own set of skills, background, and motivations. Sprinkle in some prejudices (or outright hatreds). Shake it up and throw in a zombie apocalypse. This is what you get with Zafehouse Diaries.

Told from the perspective of diary entries, you make decisions, hour by hour, in an attempt to survive long enough to win. Two game modes offer variety by giving you variable win conditions. Since you are never given the same set of survivors (each having a random job, age, background, and skillset) it offers quite a bit of replayability.

This game is tough. You will rarely win. You will grow to love and hate your survivors, and you will never have enough of anything. That is what makes the tension in this game so enjoyable. You never know what will happen next and each location you secure or assault may lead to game over. Check it out if you are a fan of anything zombie!

Fantastic game! Several things make this game very unique, like the relationships between the characters. And I love the mechanic of clicking a button to see the results of all the actions you just set up.

Fantastic game I recommend it to fans of survival games or horror games. I recommend giving the manual a read first since it helps give you a feeling for how to approach the game.

The ability to create professions and custom characters adds a lot to the game as well.

One of my favs! Very well thought out, highly replayable (which is good since I seem to die a lot in it..hehe)...Of course some of the characters end up being so annoying I hope they die (in a good way!).

A good little game, and quite difficult! I made a video review for those interested, and I hope you'll check it out!

A solid adventure game with some really interesting game mechanics. It has tons of replay value, as each game is randomized, though I will say this: don't trust your Investigations implicitly. Just because someone says they only saw 1 zombie in the Hotel, doesn't mean there aren't 30 more. Most times if you use common sense and lots of caution, you'll have a mild chance at surviving ;)
