About the Game

Get into boots of Matti! 

Who goes on the action packed surreal adventure to save his favorite podcaster from certain death in apocalyptic city of Tampere, Finland!

First the death rose and then the gates to hell are opening! Only your friends and your love for parasocial relationship and ending of your psychosis drugs can keep you going.

Beware! First time you moved your middle aged ass in decades was when you and your best friend? Van Mardigain went to loot a booze store on the first day of apocalypse. And you still are slow and fat but full of will power and substances and Finnish SISU!

You get:

  • puzzles that are difficult for boomers!

  • action that requires iron aim and ability to listen to black metal while pressing trigger!

  • You meet your coolest friends from your mind and from your life if you can call it so.

  • Features Various foods to eat: sausages, canned beans, beer.

Authentic dialogue in glorious Finnish(we've kindly provided subtitles for the few who can't speak the language).

Immersive gameplay mechanics 

  • move your boomer body by clinging with your sausage fingers on rails!

  • push stimpacks on yourself and use the environment as your tool to survive!

  • Somewhat cool guns (with limited ammo) and very enjoyable shooting mechanics (yeah test users did not know how to reload so we removed the whole feature, well done people!!!)

  • Scary and challenging enemies such as zombies and non-zombies.

  • Many puzzles, or at least like situations where you can think a bit before advancing.

    MATURE CONTENT DESCRIPTION

    The developers describe the content like this:

  • Contains graphic violence against Zombies and monsters including, blood/gore. Alcohol, tobacco and drug references are made. Nasty Finnish humour, not for snowflakes.
