Zombie Murder Squad Y2K is made by one crazy guy that was alive in the 90s and thought it would be cool to make a game but now it's taken over his life and he's locked in a basement somewhere making games that look like they were made 30 years ago but actually they just came out. He has at least 4 personality disorders and is banned from pretty much every bar in town for various crimes against humanity.
