Description

Little bit of blood and gore but it's all goofy, probably PG-13 or something I don't know.

A short, one room zombie themed point & click game extremely loosely based off LucasArts adventure games. Original plans were much more ambitious, having multiple rooms and a voiced character, a genius inventor who failed to transfer to a robot body and remained stuck preserved in his brain for decades until a zombie comes along to free him in his lab (one way or another)

This isn't a genre I think I would have gravitated towards normally, so having this jam to get me out of my comfort zone was really neat. I am very well aware of how inconsistent my art is though. I tried my best!
