Gamers, rejoiceāSteam has dropped yet another freebie, and this one brings all the grit, charm, and dark comedy of a Tarantino flick… with talking animals. For a limited time, Scheming Through the Zombie Apocalypse: The Beginning is absolutely free on Steam, and itās yours to keep if you claim it by March 18.
Whether youāre hoarding free downloads or looking for a genuinely hilarious indie gem, this is one apocalypse youāll want to be part of.
š§ Whatās the Game About?
Scheming Through the Zombie Apocalypse: The Beginning is not your typical brain-eating thriller. Picture this: a world overrun by zombies, but instead of grizzled soldiers or panicked survivors, youāre navigating the chaos as Hank, a smooth-talking rabbit, and his nervous sidekick Larry, a small dog with more bark than bite.
This point-and-click adventure leans heavily into dark humor, negotiation-based gameplay, and absurd but charming interactions with other anthropomorphic survivors. You wonāt be wielding shotguns or scavenging ammoāinstead, youāll be manipulating others to do the dirty work for you. Think: bluffing, bartering, gambling, and some sketchy deals, all in the name of survival.
With its stylized visuals, clever writing, and dialogue-driven choices, the game has carved out a niche for itself. And with over 2,000 “Very Positive” reviews on Steam, itās more than just a throwaway freebie.
