In The Middle Of Zombies

A road trip among the walking dead in a 3D post-apocalyptic stylized world.

This game is about having fun by shooting, exploding and trapping zombies with every stuff you can find (weapons, vehicles and more).

If you buy the game now, it's essentialy for supporting the development with only one DISCOUNTED payment and having access for all updates forever including the final release.
That said, even if the game is not yet polished, all released features are very stable so you can already have fun playing the game.

Who am I and why supporting the development?
Working with 3D technologies and computer programming for about 10 years, I'm a French solo game developer working for a long time on my third game project. I need your support to stay focus on this development as a full-time job. In addition, I'll be able to hire some wonderful artists to rise the game to the next level.

Why not using crowfounding plateforms?
I want to give you some fun NOW, not in one year ! And I have designed the game to always be playable as the project moves forward and your feedback could be a very precious component to create a fantastic game together!
