    About the game

    You drive a car full of odd survivors from Florida to Canada, and every trip is different. In each town you search houses and shops for gas, food and weapons while slow zombies gather in huge crowds. You often run instead of fight. Between towns, short events ask you to make choices, and some of them go very wrong.

    Up to four of you share one screen, and each of you controls a survivor. One player leads the group and the others follow. If the leader dies, the lead passes to another player. Friends can join in as the run goes on. There is no online mode, so everyone plays in the same room.

    It is silly and hard. Most trips end badly, and you will lose people along the way. It suits a group that likes laughing at its own bad luck.

      • Calm and coziness: Review describes a side-scrolling car trip between supply runs.
      • Working in sync: Review says co-op plays much like an all-AI team, apart from the chat with the person beside you.
      • Fighting: Review calls combat simple but effective, with a wide choice of melee weapons.
      • Time to hang out: Review says the gain from a human partner is a decent conversation with whoever sits beside you.
      • Getting better: Review says early supply runs are easy, then the difficulty spikes, and bad luck can sink a run.
      • Planning ahead: Review says fuel, food and medicine need managing and events force choices about the route and the group.
      • Unlocks and progress: Review says points buy unlocks and new traders, but they add little to the game.
