A Homebrewed Zombie Apocalypse

It all started when the three of us shared a bottle of whiskey and started reminiscing about playing Gauntlet in the arcades back in the day. So we decided we should make a fun, couch co-op game. We are big fans of most things zombies so we figure, why not a different kind of homebrewed zombie apocalypse set in the gritty Deep South. But before we got started, we headed to Louisiana and did the research — tracing the journey the McCrearys would eventually undertake (wIth fewer zombies but probably equal amounts of whiskey).

In Whiskey & Zombies, it turns out that only the McCrearys' illegal whiskey moonshine — Louisiana Sledgehammer — is strong enough to kill the virus. So the plan is simple: Drink. Fight. Stay Alive. But the more you drink, the harder the game is! In this first chapter, the goal is to get the McCrearys on their way home. In this first chapter of their hillbilly saga, they have just flipped their truck outside of New Roads, LA. Now they need to go back into the redneck zombie-infested shithole and retrieve their whiskey if they have any hope of surviving.

Hopefully, we have created a fun, exciting game that combines some laughs with nail-biting moments and the occasional screaming, button-mashing frenzy. We also hope it is just as frustratingly and entertainingly hard as the old arcade games were. (or maybe we just sucked playing them?)

The Demo is the full game but is limited to the number of Zombies you can kill — but you'll be able to drink and brawl your way around enough to have some fun and get a sense of the game. If you even reach the limit... ;)

And we are still evolving the game and gameplay so we appreciate any feedback that could help us improve the game. We are also working on expanding the game to include more game modes such as Last Hillbilly Standing and Survival.

Cheers to the Apocalypse! Team McCreary
