Wandering Wizard :
CULVER CITY, California / February 1, 2024... Wandering Wizard (the indie publishing arm of Snail Inc.) and developer New Gen announced today that the immersive multiplayer social deduction game Zombie Within is set for release through Steam Early Access on February 22, 2024.
Bringing a spooky twist to the genre to combine strategy with terror, Zombie Within is set in a post-apocalyptic landscape where players take on the role of Defenders who must protect their survivor camp from secret Zombie Imposters armed with a highly contagious virus.
KEY GAMEPLAY FEATURES
Asymmetrical Social Deduction: Play as either a Zombie Imposter, blending in to kill as many civilians as possible in the camp, or a Defender, attempting to figure out who amongst the civilians is secretly a zombie.
Cause Mayhem as the Zombie Imposter: As a Zombie Imposter, pretend you are one of the many civilians of the camp and break as many generators as possible to spread the infection. Once enough infection has spread, an Imposter can transform into a monstrous zombie form, which allows them to attack civilians directly.
Protect the camp as a Defender: Defenders can take on the roles of Hunters or Engineers. Hunters take down zombie imposters easily and can lay down traps to expose them. Meanwhile, Engineers have tools that allow them to quickly find broken generators, and reveal the imposter amongst the civilians.
Randomly Generated Maps: Play on either the default map, or test your skills in a randomly generated camp map, with different layouts and generator spawns.
“Wandering Wizard is dedicated to working with indie developers around the world to bring the most innovative games to life. By releasing Zombie Within alongside New Gen, Wandering Wizard is not only expanding global presence but also solidifying its position within the social deduction genre”- Jim Tsai, Chief Executive Officer of Snail, Inc.
Zombie Within will be available on Steam early access on February 22, 2024 with a 20% launch discount priced at $7.99 USD / £6.80 GBP / €7.80 EUR
