I can guarantee you that a zombiesurvival gamecalledGod Save Birminghamwasn’t on your “2024 Video Game Announcements” bingo card. It takes place in 14th century England, and tasks you with fending off the rampant zombie hordes of a populace who’ve succumbed to a mysterious case of reanimation. Perhaps the cause is that there’s no Maccies or TK Maxx at the local Bull Ring yet.
As the sole Brummie left un-zombified, you’ve got to do survival game things: forage, craft tools, and weapons, hunt for food and build a nice little shelter to hunker down in. Birmingham itself will be home to markets, boarded up smithies and the Church of St.Martin in the iconic Bull Ring market, apparently.

While I wouldn’t say the trailer above shows any of this, the game’s aiming for “physics-based mechanics” that let you outwit the horde. The Steam page mentions stacking furniture to create barricades, using low fences to make zombies stumble, or just maiming them so they’re more crawly and less runny.
