Bloody Arcade
Read full descriptionHide full description
L'humanité s'est transformé en une terrible horde de zombies. Civiles, capitalistes et forces de l'ordre se sont joint à eux pour enfin s'unir et détruire le monde. Vous êtes seule, une jeune femme forte, dotée d'armes toutes catégories pour dissiper ce terrible cortège par tous les moyens. Vous apprécierez une direction artistique plutôt gore, un personnage Doom like, pour un shooter jouissif ! Gagnez de l'expérience, de la vie, des gems, pour débloquer des nouvelles armes encore plus badass, des zombies encore plus affreux, et de nouvelle places à dézombifier. Mode mission ou mode niveau, vous pouvez vous défouler en one shot, ou retrouver vos parties sauvegardées. Bonne zombification à la Française ! Développé par un studio indépendant à Paris. Les Ptits Zombis

Explore, admire and listen. That’s it. Uncanny. Relaxing. Unnerving. Eerie. Immersive. POOLS isn’t a traditional game. it’s slow, reflective, and intentionally uneventful, perhaps a bit like virtual museum. So take your time. Breathe. POOLS unfolds slowly, rewarding patience and quiet attention. No monsters chasing you or jumping at your screen. Yet it can feel oppressive at times by invoking quiet fears of getting lost, the dark, tight spaces and the strange beauty of liminal space architecture. There's no typical story. But as you explore and advance further, you start to notice that the game's world changes around you, deeper you go… Rooms look and feel… different. Base game features six chapters, each lasting 10-30 minutes. Inspired by the internet phenomena Liminal spaces, Found footage and The Backrooms, especially the Poolrooms concept. One of the original artists behind the Poolrooms concept is Jared Pike.
