BACKLOGGD GAME 'O THE WEEK SEPT. 12-18 2023!!!!!
First one of these I've joined in, but I've been keepin' an eye on the scene for a minute. This game's pretty damn weird, really loved playing it. Throwing in a session of some arcade-y bullshit between the work hours makes for some fun I find.
Game constantly threw me for loops, though, even though every single aspect of it is so straightforward. They really got creative with the gameplay limitation of the typing mechanic, it's damn admirable, honestly. Not sure if you've played House of the Dead in a hot minute, it's real goofy on it's own, damn fun play back in like 2009 for me when I'd spend like 3 hours walking to and from the local arcade. This takes that shit to another level, though, with an inscrutable gameplay system thrown over it with very little explanation. I guess shooting zombies with my typewriter isn't any less believable than an infinite ammo pistol like the OG, though, but it's just confusing since the game clearly anticipates you'll have a pistol in every cutscene (including one funny lil moment where you shoot something in a cutscene and a gunshot-like effect comes from your chest-mounted keyboard).
It's got some good balance to it, too, can't lie! I have a notoriously fast typing speed, but I'm still prone to mistakes, so on the harder difficulty mode this posed a challenge a game technically hasn't for me before: "Are you a bad enough dude to type 70 words per minute, lady?"
Anyway, go check this shit out if you're ever interested. And also like original House of the Dead. Lightgun games rock.
