Dawn of the deader

A lot of Gaz's games are angled towards the zombie theme, and this is no exception. Gloom 3 had zombies, Zombie Massacre (obviously), Dawn of the deader, and their upcoming release The Dead Walk, which looks like it's going to be excellent.

So, DOTD is a text adventure. Don't let that put you off. Some text adventures can be awful to play, DODT is, in some ways good to play, and in others, not so good.

The plot is nice, you have to escape from a zombie filled shopping centre, and you are treated to the odd picture graphically showing the disgusting creatures you're up against. It's quite interesting to play too.

But, and this is a big but, the text doesn't wrap. You end up getting text on the screen, but words are cut in half at the end of the line. Probably due to Gaz's 1024x768 screenmode, but if you can bear that, then you might want to check this out. Especially if you like graphic descriptions of how you die.

Supplier/Distributor: Alpha Software

Verdict: Nice and descriptive, but the text wrapping is awful

Score: 80%
