    * UNDYING

    How appropriate; a game about zombies. My lack of sleep is
    making me feel somewhat zombie-like (please don't shoot me in
    the head. I almost never eat brains anymore). The game itself
    seems to be a cross between "A Plague Tale" and "Project
    Zomboid"; the former for its narrative structure and because
    you have your young son toddling after you, and the later for
    its aesthetics and survival/crafting mechanics. It seems an
    odd combination and could be great, but actual presentation
    --the English translation, the bugs, some of the mechanics--
    keep it from living up to its promise.


    I am sadly not enervated by this release. I mean, sure I'll grab the
    game, but that's more because I haven't the willpower to resist
    something free rather than any excitement over the title. I may have
    to chug some more coffee. How much caffeine before it's a lethal dose?

    Seven days to claim this one, as usual.


    UNDYING... theres a joke here about Epic games store not dying..

    Yes! No time to relax and play my games. :(

    Epic told me I got this already.

    I thought it was Clive Barker's (?) Undying which came out a long time
    ago. I loved it.
