It’s so wonderful, somewhere between RGG and Grasshopper Manufacture, with a little bit of one of my all time favourite films, Tokyo Gore Police, thrown in for good measure. It’s “a brand newRPGand an enthusiastic love letter to the 80s' pop culture that features a strong taste of B-Movies,” saysSteam. “Follow Choko’s journey of truth and revenge across North America as she grows stronger.” It’s from Nekcom, who previously put out the confoundingly namedDYING: Reborn- a gory escape room. Here’s the setup:
However, a mysterious catastrophic incident changes the world drastically. The social order is long gone. An unknown amount of time passes, a teenage girl mysteriously revives from the dead, only to find a brand new wild post-apocalyptic world with zombies, monsters, and human survivors of different backgrounds and beliefs.
As well as combat, you’ll be travelling around the US in a “big” RV. It’s big! You’ll be able to customise it, as well as “enhance Choko’s status and unlock abilities through various enjoyable “Living Activities”. Finally, the enjoyable living activities I crave. No release date on this one yet, but you can bet I’ll be shouting loudly about it as soon as we get one.
