Overview
ZAR plunges players into a chilling alternate history where a failed vaccine experiment in rural Russia unleashes a terrifying zombie apocalypse. Set in 2023, this indie first-person shooter from PancakeGames tasks you with venturing into a quarantined zone. Originally intended to curb a coronavirus epidemic, the experimental vaccine had an unforeseen, horrifying side effect: reanimating the dead. Six months after the initial outbreak was declared contained, the buried began to rise, forcing the military to cordon off the affected region. Driven by the promise of a small fee, you join a wave of desperate volunteers entering the quarantine zone, seeking work and perhaps a chance to survive.
