Our take on Whiskey & Zombies: The Great Southern Zombie Escape
The central mechanic ties survival to intoxication: whiskey restrains the virus, while drinking too much can undermine combat.
What is Whiskey & Zombies: The Great Southern Zombie Escape?
This comedy-adventure brawler combines top-down combat with stealth and scavenging in a zombie outbreak across the Deep South.
The McCreary family must reach its Louisiana Bayou home and moonshine still. Whiskey is needed to fight the virus, but drinking more makes the game harder: too little lets the infection affect stamina, while too much can impair shooting or cause a character to pass out. Players can choose among 4 family members with different traits and abilities. The game can be played solo or in local multiplayer, where whiskey can also bring a player back after they become a zombie. The story follows the family’s Southern roots and individual motivations as they make their way through Louisiana.
