Certain indie games do catch my attention in terms of the fluid pixelated presentation and in this case, Zhelter by Korean indie developer G1 Playground, shows off some good bits of shooting action, gathering resources, farming, and crafting in a cute cruel world. Like playing Harvest Moon but in a survival apocalypse with a fast-paced action shooting against zombies on steroids, this sentence alone sends me chills down the spine.
Can you survive the nightmare?
Zhelter is all about surviving a Zombie apocalypse by scraping parts to build and saving survivors along the way. As you lose your precious family and friends to the outbreak of a Zombie apocalypse, you were saved and found by a new group that accepts you as the family themselves and protecting them is the least you can do.
