Our take on Don't Get Bit
Players may bounce at the second and third journeys: the first replay imposes a turn limit on every level, while the final run makes each zombie bite fatal. Those rules change the campaign from ordinary tactical survival into strict execution.
What is Don't Get Bit?
Guide Cassie, an 18-year-old carrying a kitchen knife, toward her uncle’s farm during a zombie apocalypse.
This turn-based strategy game has 30 distinct levels, with four controllable characters facing nine zombie types. Maps introduce different challenges that require tactical decisions rather than luck, since outcomes do not use random number generation. Cassie’s story unfolds through more than 30 monologues, accompanied by hand-drawn sketches and an original score. After the main journey, two additional runs add new constraints: the second imposes a turn limit on every level, while the third makes every zombie bite fatal. Completing these journeys reveals additional endings.
