The game is "The Day Before"

[–] Droechai@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

I guess a zombie game where you play the 24 hours before patient zero gets sick, like an evil medicine lab simulator who got a 24 hour deadline to produce the first viable zombie or get shut down by the evil investors

First I've heard of it lol

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 18 points 9 months ago

Yeah well just because you haven't heard of it and no one's heard of it doesn't mean that it wasn't hyped, It just means it wasn't typed very effectively.

Why is it "Steam's"? The article is as bad as the game supposedly is.

[–] Breakyfix@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 9 months ago (2 children)

The 'hype' was the amount of Steam wishlists it got being insanely high. It's all very sus, probably inflated by bot accounts

[–] SwiggitySwole@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

I know a handful of people who thought it looked like an impending disaster and gave it a wishlist so they could see the early negative reviews pour in

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Because it was allegedly the most wishlisted game on steam at one point

[–] Ghostlight@lemmy.world 21 points 9 months ago

Being called a dumpster fire is being very generous.

[–] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago

The day before refund.

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago

Huh, so turns out the game does exist - though it seems it shouldn’t

[–] tristan@aussie.zone 10 points 9 months ago

9800 reviews so far and only 15% positive

I almost clicked the buy button, glad I didn't.
