Press release:
MUNICH — Dec. 7, 2022.
The Germany/US-based indie games publisher Aerosoft and Munich-based (Germany) indie games developer Thera Bytes games, are today very happy and excited to announce that their zombie-themed sandbox lab builder “Zombie Cure Lab” (from the AAA sim vets at Aerosoft), is now available for PC via Steam EA.
Years after an apocalyptic event brought humanity to the brink of extinction, a team of scientists emerges from a subterranean sanctum to put an end to the zombie masses. Lead a team of heroic researchers and build a facility while investigating a cure. Scour environments for raw materials to build an initial facility before upgrading into a base with new structures, lab equipment, and fortifications for defending the area.
By placing traps and capturing attacking zombies, the first move to save humanity is done. Use the captives as test subjects in an attempt to reverse the infection. Each successful treatment brings the team one step closer to the ultimate cure. In addition, the newly created zombie-human hybrids – affectionately called Humbies – present invaluable laborers to assist the scientists and gather much-needed resources.
Manage materials and balance lab upgrades and creature comforts to ensure that the workforce is well-fed, maintained, and comfortable. Build kitchens, recreational facilities, and more while researching sci-fi tech like freeze rays to capture more zombies for testing. Turn the laboratory compound into a well-oiled, undead-curing machine. A motivated Humbie is a safe Humbie, so make sure to keep them happy, lest the workers succumb to their flesh-eating urges.
“Zombies and video games go hand-in-hand,” said Maarten Janello, Product Manager at Aerosoft.
“With Zombie Cure Lab, we’ve elected to explore a world overrun by zombies from a hopeful perspective. As you overcome deep strategic challenges and fight back against the infection, you’ll find a colorful and charming experience that’s quite unlike anything else around.”
Zombie Cure Lab is available now via Steam Early Access on PC for $24.99 USD. A limited-time release discount of 20% will make the launch price $19.99 USD. Supported languages include 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.
