While the announcement of a new zombie game looking for crowd funding could certainly be accompanied by a chorus of yawns from most gamers, Iello Games has an interesting title racking up huge pledge numbers in Zombie 15′. The game is for two to four players who have fifteen minutes to scramble for survival in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. As of this writing the project has generated over $89k with twenty one days remaining to get on board. While a current pledge of $70 seems a touch high for a game which plays out in fifteen minutes it’s important to note there are miniatures involved.
From Iello:
Experience frantic 15-minute game sessions as you play a group of 2 to 4 teenagers running for their lives, while trying to discover the truth about the sudden outbreak that turned their parents, teachers and all of the other grown-ups into gruesome brain-eating monsters!
While other zombie games generally let you think calmly, discuss the problem, and plan through every situation, Zombie 15′ simulates the stressful and frantic experience of being chased by zombies. The players have to act fast and think even faster. Cooperation and tactics are decisive, but so is keeping a cool head.
In addition, Zombie 15′ features an immersive universe, with an original and compelling storyline and awesome heroes.
