Z

About

Game Z drops you in a crumbling house surrounded by the undead. Your only tools are a dwindling ammo count and your wits. You shoot at shambling threats from narrow windows while ducking into shadows when they wander too close. The controls are barebones but effective letting you toggle between aiming and hiding. Each run feels like a high stakes game of cat and mouse with the walls closing in. The game's stripped down approach works in its favor. There's no fancy gear or character upgrades just raw survival tension. Players on forums note the difficulty spike in later waves where hordes force quick decisions. Browser based play means no installation hurdles though the 2014 release date shows in the visuals. Still it remains a brisk challenge for those who like their horror lean and mean.
