Overhead Zombie Shooter ‘The Last Stand: Aftermath’ Launches Kickstarter For Final Development Stretch

Published

on

Flash game enthusiasts of yesteryear may recall 2007’s The Last Stand by developer Con Artist Games. The premise was pretty simple: survive the night fighting off zombies from your barricade. Jump ahead 13 years, and Con Artist Games are on the last stretch of development for The Last Stand: Aftermath, which will launch on PC via Steam next year.

Aftermath once again thrusts you into a cataclysmic zombie apocalypse, but this time, you’ve been infected. You must make the most of your final days by gathering supplies for those who will come after you, while at the same time hunting for the truth behind the renewed danger of the zombie virus. Not to worry if you do keel over. When one survivor dies, the player will immediately take control of another, who will benefit from the progress made by those before them.

To help with the final stretch of development, Con Artist has turned to Kickstarter to help with the final costs. $50,000 is a lofty goal, but as these things go, there are plenty of tiers (and rewards) for backers. And given what you can see in the trailer and in the various screenshots on the Kickstarter page, this is one project that certainly looks worthy of support.

For those visual novel fans who have devoured Slay The Princess after its recent major update, and are looking for more, can check out 2P Games and Universe Studio’s Japanese-style horror mystery visual novel, Other Side of Mist and Mountain. Available now on Steam with a 10% launch discount until April 11, the game transports you back to 2010, with you investigating the disappearance of your girlfriend five years earlier.

Other Side of Mist and Mountain centres on Shizuno Yokoyama, a young man who became a detective after the disappearance of his girlfriend Maha back in 2005. Maha had mysteriously vanished at a train station on her way to a flash mob organized by an occult forum. What’s even stranger is that the train station itself disappeared too.

Now specialized in investigating occult cases, Shizuno has never stopped searching for Maha. Suddenly some new cases bring clues that might get him closer to an answer — but as his investigation deepens, so does the web of mysteries.

Players will solve puzzles and investigate clues to advance through a story that blends elements of horror, mystery, deduction, and folk tales. Your choices matter, as depending on the decisions you make along the way, they will trigger different storylines. As you explore the world around you and engaging in dialogues with a variety of characters, you’ll need to pay attention to every little detail in each scene in order to solve the mystery of Maha’s disappearance.
