Zombie Admin is a fine example of the capitalist hellscape that we all find ourselves in. The Zombie Apocalypse happened but you've still gotta go to work. The game is a top-down game with a seemingly randomly generated map. On said map are job tasks, weapons, coffee, and toilets. You need guns to deal with zombies, coffee for health, and the toilet so that you can uh... drink more coffee. You have to run around the map doing menial tasks, shooting zombies, and chugging coffee. It's a simple concept, and it's well executed!
Desolate Roads is... something, to be sure. I couldn't figure out what the heck to actually do, but near as I can tell: you run out of gas, have to find items to open up other items to get more items etc etc. There's some spooky fire ghosts that guard the boundaries of the map and, I assume, show up elsewhere. There is zero guidance as to what the hell you're supposed to do. I really did try to play the game.
GUROBU is a bit of a horror walking simulator about Hugo, a guy who I think is steeped in survivors guilt? But also seems to be really haunted? And the neighbor died and things just get weirder. It's got some cute animations on the characters, but suffers from some pacing issues with the story and scenes. But we got the good ending!
