Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want open-world exploration may find the apartment setting restrictive.

- Players looking for a standalone story may miss context from the preceding Em-A-Li.
Our take on Em-A-Zurvival
The likely sticking point arrives during apartment exploration: the flashlight is needed to navigate, search for resources, interact with the surroundings, and find the exit, but its battery is limited. Players who find that resource constraint frustrating may bounce off before reaching the escape.
What is Em-A-Zurvival?
Em-A-Zurvival is a top-down horror puzzle game and continuation of Em-A-Li.
Andrew wakes in an apartment during a zombie outbreak and tries to escape after encountering a man-eating human. The story follows his connection to Em-A-Li, an AI, and Stu. Players explore dark rooms with a flashlight, whose battery is limited, while avoiding zombies and searching for resources. Those materials can be used to craft items such as EMP equipment, zombie armor, and a potato battery. The flashlight is also used to interact with the environment and find the exit. The game includes a voice cast for Em-A-Li and Andrew.
