The game starts with the selection of a leader for humanity's survival. The leader in the Zombie Crusade has the ability to rewind time upon death. Whenever they are defeated by zombies, they go back to 5000 B.C. However, the experience and resources gained from battles with zombies remain, serving as the foundation for creating the next civilization. By studying the processes of inventions and discoveries that had a significant impact on human history, you secure the technology to develop civilizations and establish a new civilization on the land overrun by zombies. Depending on the inventions and discoveries obtained by the leader, you can strengthen the military power of the civilization created in the zombie world. From primitive huts and cavemen in 5000 B.C. to knights, cavalry, and musketeers, create a variety of soldiers and upgrade them to become more powerful. The only way to protect humanity from zombies is by constructing a stronger civilization. * How to play: 1. Choose a leader to build a civilization. Initially, you can start the origin of humanity from a nameless tribal chief in the land overrun by zombies. 2. Start researching on topics that have had a great impact on human history with the available resources, or upgrade the leader's abilities. 3. Enter the zombie world and defend your base by increasing the number of soldiers or upgrading them. * Features: 1. Unlock new soldiers or upgrade fields based on the researched topics. 2. When you upgrade the leader's abilities, all soldiers in the new civilization start from the leader's abilities. 3. All soldiers automatically attack and engage in combat with zombies within their line of sight. * Soldier Control: 1. Touch a soldier or select one soldier, or press the "Select All" button at the bottom of the screen to select soldiers. 2. When there are selected soldiers, pressing the pause button will make them stay in place and attack zombies within their range. Pressing the play button will allow them to move freely again. 3. Press the "Return" button, and the selected soldiers will move back to the base. 4. When resources are scarce or the population is high and you cannot create more soldiers, you can select soldiers and exchange them for resources. Develop your civilization, defeat more zombies, and save humanity!

Trail Torment is an ultramarathon racing simulator built on New Hampshire's infamous Pemi Loop... 32 miles of White Mountain trail that has humbled faster runners than you. In this game you're not the runner. You're the pacer. The voice in their head. The one who says "you've got this" and has to mean it. Roll a random starting condition. Maybe your runner woke up feeling great. Maybe they're already on the Struggle Bus with angry GI and chafing from the drive. Play the hand you're dealt. Pack your gear. Every item costs weight. Every missing item costs more. Bring the storm shell and lose a little speed all day, or leave it behind and pray the forecast was right. The forecast is usually right. Usually. Choose your direction at the trailhead. Counter-clockwise hits the big climbs early... Osseo, Franconia Ridge, the exposed alpine ridgeline. Clockwise saves the hard stuff for later, when your legs are gone and the sun is setting. Real runners argue about this. Now you can settle it. Then the trail happens. Falls on wet rock below Bondcliff. GI emergencies that require... stopping. Blisters that turn every step into a negotiation. Wrong turns at actual junctions where actual runners actually get lost. (Below Bondcliff, checking the map doesn't always help. That's not a bug. That's the Pemi.) Send your runner messages. Encouragement works. "You've got this" restores will. Profanity doesn't. "Small steps" on a climb actually improves efficiency. "Almost there" at mile 6 makes things worse. The game knows the difference between a good pacer and someone yelling from a lawn chair. Real quotes from real ultrarunners and coaches appear at the worst possible moments. David Roche says "You're amazing" right after your runner faceplants. Bill Belichick says "Do your job" as you leave an aid station. It's fine. Everything is fine. Navigate with a topo map. Stop at viewpoints for a Will to Live boost (but the clock keeps running). Take selfies of your stick figure's worst moments and share them with your running group chat. The Pemi Loop FKT leaderboard uses real verified fastest known times. Jake Acito holds the men's record at 5:32:34. Britta Clark holds the women's at 6:31:49. Your time slots in next to theirs. Good luck with that. If you finish, you get a belt buckle. You earned it. Barely. If you don't finish, a Saint Bernard brings you a blanket. Under 10 minutes per run. Infinite replayability. Built by someone who has actually run this trail and should probably know better. Plan. Commit. Suffer. Repeat.
