Zombie Scream is a strange combination of Tsugunohi’s everyday horror style and the unpredictable personality of famous Japanese streamer Odaken. The game that took the world by storm in 2020 is back on Nintendo Switch™, with many creepy surprises and a completely new branching ending. You will follow Odaken himself, reliving seemingly repetitive everyday days—until everything suddenly turns into an inescapable nightmare.
When everyday life turns into a nightmare
Unlike complicated horror games, Zombie Scream keeps the gameplay surprisingly simple. You just need to move the main character forward, repeating the daily routine without any complicated choices. However, that simplicity opens up a creepy feeling. Each step forward in the familiar street makes the player more and more worried by the silent changes, until the entire world around turns into a place where there is no longer a safe place.
Odaken and the Eerie Harmony with Tsugunohi
In the game, you not only witness Odaken from the outside, but also directly control him. Every action, every bizarre scene that happens becomes more real thanks to this seamless immersion. The dark, damp, and heavy atmosphere of the town where Odaken lives becomes a living entity, reflecting the decay that is quietly spreading. The combination of Tsugunohi’s minimalist storytelling and Odaken’s humorous, witty, yet helpless personality makes the experience both eerie and haunting.
Two endings, one lingering fear
For the first time, Nintendo Switch™ players have the opportunity to explore another direction of the story. This branching not only increases replayability but also heightens the psychological element. You can choose to face it or try to avoid it, but either way, the fear still quietly follows. Each ending is unforgettable, not only because of the unexpected twist, but also because of the way the game forces you to look directly at what you don’t want to believe.
Conclusion
Zombie Scream is not only a horror game, but also a reminder that even the most ordinary life can hide something wrong. The further you go, the more uncertain you become about whether you want to reach your destination. Experience this game once, and you will no longer see life as monotonous as before.
