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.
