Scheming Through The Zombie Apocalypse: The Beginning

The Zombie Apocalypse is usually a very serious matter, but occassionally a movie or a game comes along that just doesn’t want to focus on the negative aspects of zombies. Scheming Through the Zombie Apocalypse: The Beginning is such a game. It doesn’t take anyting seriously. This game has a different take on the Zombie Apocalypse! But is it a good one?

Scheming Through the Zombie Apocalypse: The Beginning is the first part of an episodic experience. I hesitate to call this a game because there really isn’t a lot to do in it. You decide what the characters will say via dialogue choices, can pick what items they take, and sometimes decide where they go. Scheming is more like an interactive cartoon than a game.

And despite its main characters being “cute” (and not so cute) animals, this is not a game for kids. Scheming uses adult language and often has violence. I’m not really sure who the audience is for Scheming Through the Zombie Apocalypse but I’m sure they are out there.

You would think that Scheming would have touch controls but it does not. Instead it only has analog/button controls but they do work well.

I wish the player had more direct control over the characters in this experience, but otherwise, Scheming Through the Zombie Apocalypse is interesting. If you’re an adult who likes zombies, adult humor, and interactive stories, than you may want to check out Scheming Through the Zombie Apocalypse: The Beginning.

Scheming Through the Zombie Apocalypse: The Beginning gets a 7.0 out of 10.
