Vibe's take

Tense, accusatory and funny in a dark way. Alliances form fast, the vote turns on you, and the zombies are rarely the worst part of the night.

About this game

City of Horror is a backstabbing zombie survival game, and the twist is that surviving usually means feeding a friend to the horde. Each of you controls several characters with different abilities, sends them into limited-capacity locations, barricades, scavenges for items and weapons, and then votes on who gets eaten when the zombies break in. The city map changes every game, twenty characters are included, and antidotes are a thing. It is loud, accusing and a little cruel, in the best way.
