Zombie Cure Lab Arrives Later This Year on PC

News: Use your resources to cure the zombie apocalypse instead of just simply trying to kill it.

Zombie Cure Lab, the undead treatment lab builder from the AAA sim vets at publisher Aerosoft and fun-loving, problem-solving developers at Thera Bytes, begins experiments to save mankind on Steam Early Access for PC in Q3 2022.

After years of hiding underground, the last remaining humans stand ready to reverse the zombie apocalypse. With a means of curing the undead in hand, return to the surface and lead a settlement of brave scientists in their mission to save the world.

You will start by using natural resources in the forests and mountains to give the human race a place to eat and sleep. Happy workers make better survivors after all. With their immediate needs met, world-saving work can begin. Construct sturdy walls and defenses to prepare for the night. Open a laboratory and begin your research on sci-fi tech like freeze rays and barriers. With these colorful gadgets in hand, capture roaming hordes and start the treatment process.

With each zombie cured you will grow the workforce and expand the operation, turning back the doomsday clock. Set day and night shifts for your human-zombie hybrids—the Humbies—to keep them happy and productive. Upgrade the lab to harvest more premium, high-efficiency material and let the new science equipment open a path toward the final cure.

You will have to use time, careful planning, and proper management of the lab economy to create a well-oiled research machine and turn the hordes into the Working Dead. But be wary—Humbies, like the humans they aspire to be, are fickle creatures. Go beyond their basic needs with comfortable quarters, plentiful food, and luxurious recreational spaces to keep them happy and satisfied, lest they revert to their flesh-hungry baser instincts within the very walls of your base.

“Most games featuring the undead solve the problem with killing, so when Thera Bytes approached us with the idea to focus a zombie game around empathy and healing, we were immediately on board,” said Winfried Diekmann, Managing Director at Aerosoft. “We hope that Zombie Cure Lab not only brings a refreshing take to the genre but exemplifies how there are other, nonviolent ways to solve problems.”

Zombie Cure Lab will be available via Steam Early Access for PC with language support for English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Simplified Chinese. Development of Zombie Cure Lab is financially supported by FFF Bayern and the budgetary funds of the Free State of Bavaria.
