Design
The main design goal of this game was to encourage communication between players. We achieved this through level design, and having all players share a common goal, that is hard to complete alone. The goal is to stay alive by killing zombies, and make sure the train does not run out of fuel. Limiting the players ability to shoot while carrying fuel encourages players to communicate and protect a teammate while they carry valuable fuel to the train. ​

We had the opportunity to showcase the game and collect valuable feedback at Playtest Planet, an event with around 200 attendees currently working in the games industry.
