About the Game

Have wits? You'll need 'em. The BubonicZ plague rages, and you're trapped in a horrific prison, banished by the King after the princess fell under your watch. As a once mighty warrior, now without your trusty bow and arrow, you face not only grotesque zombies but also the King's deadly, cunningly laid traps.

The BubonicZ is a third-person horror puzzle game that challenges you to survive a relentless nightmare where your environment is your only weapon, and every step could be your last. Immerse yourself in a dark, atmospheric prison labyrinth, where the very walls are designed to ensure your demise.

Important Note on Current Build: This build of BubonicZ offers a focused, intense taste of the core gameplay, showcasing the innovative environmental puzzle mechanics and horror atmosphere. Players will experience the initial stages of their escape, requiring them to collect multiple keys and navigate through challenging areas. Currently, the journey concludes after acquiring the third key and passing through a final door, at which point you will return to the main menu. This segment is designed to provide a foundational look at the terrifying world and unique challenges I am building. I am actively developing more content, including fleshing out the world and cleaning up all the bugs and messier segments.
