A lot of love and attention and thank you for the choices. I’m not gonna lie you got me hooked for more though please. ### 5/5 — part 4 *2025-07-17, version 3.3.0* amazing game, need part 4 badly ### 5/5 — More please! *2025-06-13, version 3.3.0* Waiting for more of the stories is killing me, 10/10 ### 5/5 — Great game, but *2025-05-27* I really enjoyed this game from the very beginning to the very end of chapter 3. But first of all, the donations are a bit greedy. Secondly the pace of the story is great but as it goes I doubt it will be finished even at chapter 4, which brings us to the point, that chapter 4 is not even near about,so that chapter 5 we will have by 2030? ### 4/5 — I love it *2025-05-25, version 3.3.0* Is a great story but I’m still waiting for part 4 ### 5/5 — The game I never knew I needed. *2025-04-29, version 3.3.0* I’m a bit biased here but I love this game. I got all three parts and it was so worth it. The locations, the characters, thr depth and freedom of choice and the story, just make me want more like I’m a junky. If you like text adventures, zombie apocalypses and feeling like your decisions in game matter. Then get this game. ### 5/5 — My Favorite *2025-04-12, version 3.3.0* ZE and ZE:SH have been my absolute favorite story games ever. There’s always something new to discover because of all the choices you have. I think it’s very well written and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes reading and a “choose their own adventure” kind of game. Also, Mr Developer, I’m not sure if this is a bug/glitch or intentional due to the profession, but during my last gameplay I had chosen the hacker profession and she had literally everything in her inventory? All guns, all ammo, all consumables etc.. In my current gameplay I only have what I find. I also never officially met Woody? You have a whole scene where he comes to your home, but that never happened, he just appeared on my couch.. haha ### 5/5 — Great *2025-03-14, version 3.3.0* It amazing and can’t wait for more also I can’t restore my purchases help please ### 2/5 — It’s dumb *2025-01-31, version 3.3.0* It’s dumb I have too buy for part 2 I feel like that’s not even fun the start was fun my friend died when I tried too get him out the party then after that “remember the first part is free and buy 8.00 for the others that’s so dumb” ### 5/5 — The characters are weird, but the story is just…idk. *2025-01-11, version 3.3.0* I played the game numerous of times, it’s really good. Don’t get me wrong, but the characters are just having some sort of evil inner person or manipulative, etc. like Madison just develops into a cold-blooded killer, and Gina just shoots her own friend George because of her husband and decided to join a group for possibly a evil plan. And Rachel does not seem to have any character development after part 2, like she still seems she’s hiding more of herself sort of, and Jillian is just a terrible survivor. I think the game that will continue in part 4 will be the group’s down fall, and the main character only survives. Like the walking dead season 2, and on part 1. Where everybody is out for each other’s throats for no reason, and acting on stupidity. To be honest, I’m not sure if the game is just all about teamwork. Or just to show something else, before I thought it was really good. But now…it’s off because of how everyone acted on part 2 and 3. ### 5/5 — Best story game I’ve ever come across!! *2024-12-28, version 3.3.0* I can’t believe how real this story is, I really feel like I’m part of the story. I’ve been reading for 3 hours and that in itself is a miracle! I’m high anxiety, ADD, and my attention span is like zero. So for me to sit still for 3 hours is a miracle. My husband just came in to check on me because I haven’t quite this long since he married me 36 years ago, lol. I absolutely recommend this story game, you feel like you’re the one going through the zombie apocalypse. ### 5/5 — A fun game *2024-11-30, version 3.3.0* A fun game to spend time on. Do wish the author would drop another chapter soon though. I’d gladly drop some money for it. ### 4/5 — I hate them but love the game! *2024-11-28, version 3.3.0* Seriously a pay wall but the story is so investing and I want to continue but I don’t have a bank account yet! Soon though I will get one and be able to get past the pay wall! ### 5/5 — 👏 *2024-10-15, version 3.3.0* This game is really good but i wish you could of put music in the background so we don’t need to listen to the quietness lol but i really hope you make this game more longer so we could build a big base like a compound but thats all i have to say and again this game is really good hands down ### 5/5 — Please Finish the Game *2024-10-03* Love the game, honestly the best Choice game I’ve ever played and I love how much you can do in this game. My one complaint is that I’ve been waiting what feels like forever for Part 4 to come out. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 1st chapter free then u gotta pay to play xd *2025-10-15, version 3.3.0* Not worth playing because its just 8 lines of text hidden after the buyable content xd ### 1/5 — Bait & Switch *2025-08-03, version 3.3.0* There is no "try before you buy" warning. I would've steered clear of this app, but now, it'll sit in my deleted apps page for doing such a petty thing. ### 1/5 — Absolutely unacceptable *2024-12-17, version 3.3.0* How are you going to advertise a game for free but then make someone pay for the next chapter? This is a money grab and I don’t know how you people are putting 5 stars. ### 1/5 — Amazing game but paywalls make it not worth it *2024-12-09, version 3.3.0* the demo got me hooked so I decided to buy the first part expecting that was all I was going to spend, just to find out I have to pay $8 for each part which is insane. At least a warning would be nice to let people know you’re a greedy bastard and plan to make the players spend $20+ through the whole game. Stupidly high too ### 1/5 — The Paywall is ridiculous *2024-02-25, version 3.2* I spent 7.99 on the game only to finish the first part and realize the 7.99 is for part 1. They expect you to pay 7.99 for each part which is totally ridiculous. Seems like a good game but just downright greedy. ### 1/5 — YOU'VE GOT TO BE JOKING *2024-01-17, version 3.2* THE NERVE OF THIS GAME BRO. I PAY £8 TO PLAY PAST THE PROLOGUE AND FINISH PART ONE AND IT WANTS ME TO PAY ANOTHER £8 FOR THE NEXT PART??? I LOVE THIS GAME BUT JESUS LORD I'M NEVER GONNA FINISH IT AT THESE PRICES. I THOUGHT I WAS PAYING £8 FOR THE FULL GAME NOT A SINGLE PART. ### 1/5 — Otro juego que hay que pagar *2023-09-12, version 3.1.5* Básicamente el juego es una prueba gratis, luego para jugar es pago ### 1/5 — It’s a scam *2022-11-12, version 3.0.3* You can only play the first “episode” of this game for free then have to pay to play the rest. What a rip off ### 1/5 — Have to pay to start *2022-10-27, version 3.0.3* Says you can play the first chapter for free, but if there’s a way to do that then i cant find it. Tried resetting my progress, thinking maybe i had already played the first chapter. But no success and I don’t have any achievements, so don’t think I’ve played before. If there’s a way to play the first chapter for free, they make it hard to find. From other reviews seems like a money grab. It’s too bad cause I usually love this type of game ### 1/5 — Scam *2022-10-08, version 3.0.3* Look ever since the recent update I lost all my purchases 2 why don’t you make the person pay the whole game up front because this game ain’t free It’s good game but its pricey for a mobile game I’m not tryna pay 15$ again, plz fix ur game ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Need a new part of the story *2026-08-11, version 4.0.1* Loving this game just finished it and wanting more. Whats gonna happen at the end but to be completely honest I don’t want it to end completely I want years (in game) but anyway keep it up gonna restart it with a new character ### 5/5 — Great game. Can’t wait for new updates *2026-06-03, version 4.0.1* It’s not all the time I find an actual rp game on the App Store but this was fun. I was kinda upset that I got to chapter four in like a week and there currently isn’t a chapter five. I look forward to the next chapter<3 ### 5/5 — Game *2026-04-13, version 4.0.1* Love the story!!!!! Keep it up!! I love zombies and this is definitely up In my top 3 ### 5/5 — Incredible Text-Based Game *2026-03-11, version 4.0.1* I was sucked in from the second I started the game. At this point part 5 is not out and I’m so frustrated, I need to see how the story ends or at least progresses. The game is solid gold and you will enjoy it if you’re fine with lots of reading (I am) ((I had the time of my life with this thing)) ### 5/5 — Worth it *2026-02-12, version 4.0.1* My favorite of Hosted Games ### 5/5 — Aouhh I love this game *2026-02-11, version 4.0.1* Me and my book club started meeting every now and then to play this as a group and vote on what to do as a council which is fun! I’ve convinced them to get it so they can do they’re own run without everyone else’s vote if they’d like I’m glad I got friends to join in on this I’ve been loving this game for a while and get it every time I get a new Apple ID or new phone just to support the team with my 7 dollars per chapter 😭 ### 5/5 — good *2026-02-02, version 3.3.1* I like this game, it’s like an rpg text survival adventure kinda thing. But it would be nice for quality of life if you let us pick things better. Like when choosing stats, it only let’s me add up to 20 at a time which is kinda annoying when I wanna do all my stats at the beginning. Also, when I was stealing all the items from thelma’s store, I took everything from the whole store and rammed my way out with all of it. Probably shouldn’t be a thing to do that, especially since all I had was a bike to escape with the whole store on my back + nephew + cat. But also it was kinda inconvenient to slowly pick out everything since the picking option is like 5 at a time max. So improve quality of life would be nice and also therr are still ridiculous things ingame like stealing a whole store of items and biking away with all of it + nephew + cat. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-01-29, version 3.3.1* Not much you can ask for, lots of choices and pathways. Been playing since the first zombie exodus and am eagerly awaiting the future. Keep doing great sir :) ### 5/5 — yes nice game *2026-01-09, version 3.3.1* i love this game, super well thought out details. it’s such a lovely time with lots of variation and paths to go down. i am a zombie fiend, especially for early/beginning stages of the apocalypse and this really is a cool way to live through it. i cannot recommend it enough!!! ### 5/5 — Greatest in depth story builder I have ever played! *2025-10-19, version 3.3.0* I have replayed the game several times now and still find new ways to play it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
