Southern England Download With License Key If you enjoyed Tell Tale games then you may enjoy this one... if you also enjoy mini games that serve no point except to give you a chance at killing yourself (cue fight mechanic) then you will definitely enjoy this!Played for about 4 hours and maybe half an hour into the game the fighting mechanics really started to annoy me so I turned them off and went with the visual novel... enough storyline for 3 and a half hours of visual novel play through... although there were peculiarities with some of the text like repeating a line further into the conversation.Also, a character may make an exiting the conversation statement but their picture remains as a kind of ... why are you still here... I thought you left a minute ago moment :sGathering food and supplies seems to be a bit random... going for a food supply can give 1-18 food (in my game) but the majority of the time I got more food from going after other supplies which was weird.If I had to give this anything it would be a 3/5 decent storyline... strange text conversations where it hasn't been properly vetted and I'm just not sure whether the supply gathering is meant to be random or not... or if there was something faulty in the coding... but yeah. 3/5 - definitely worth a play through if only for visual novel (the combat system is wweeeeird).

This really is a damn shame. I almost feel bad giving DEAD BUT ALIVE a bad write-up but, despite an enjoyable albeit well-worn zombie drama kicking about beneath the surface, there is just too much wrong with this game.You don't need to go far to find the first flaw. The game seems to load completely at its own will, often freezing up halfway through the boot process. You can get it to start up quite reliably by launching it in beta but, I mean, for £10.99, should I have to? Did I just pay over a tenner for a pre-release? No. No I didn't.By far the most serious problem is a bug that regularly afflicts the onscreen dialogue, causing it to fly past like you're watching the subtitled version of the Busta Rhymes videography. That alone is truly unforgivable for a game that markets itself and plays as a visual novel. A VN where you can't read the story is about as enjoyable as playing an FPS as a double amputee.The game itself has numerous balancing problems and a tedious combat system that I go into more detail with in the video below but even before all that, DEAD BUT ALIVE is an unplayable technical nightmare.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42wjhsE7Hcc. Update 06/26/2016, I had noticed that the game was recieving some much needed updates and decided to download the beta to see if it had improved the over all quality of the game. I should note here as well that Highcliffe Media Publishing, the developer of the game, has taken over continued support from Winter Wolves earlier this year.The text is now black text on a white background, instead of the other way around which actually makes reading easier on the eyes and an issue I didn't really have a problem with previously, but much welcomed change. When a character is speaking multiple lines will appear in the same text box instead of one at a time, preventing the awakardly cut off sentences of the past, there's also the ability to scroll back to reread anything you may have missed. All in all these improvements are great and make the game very playable. I do look forward to playing through this game once again. 7/10For those interested I have left my original review below. **********Original Review****************Since I normally like games from Winter Wolves, which are pretty cheesy to begin with, and Visual Novels I had no issues purchasing this game. However once I started playing, the single lines of text would simply scroll to fast. Also being a single line of text made reading awkward as it would cut some sentences off. The story itself was pretty cringeworthy right off the bat. The combat system was pointless and should've either been rethought, or left out of the game entirely.2/10. Game will not launch for me. Developers suggest using the Beta branch on the forums.Game will still not launch. I am on an Intel i7 4970k, Nvidia GTX 780, 16gb RAM, on Windows 10. I have the latest drivers and have had no problems with any of the other 600 games in my steam library.To charge $15 for this and to have people complaining of this issue (game not starting) for a month now is unacceptable from a developer or publisher.If I get some solution in the support forums I'll update this review. But in the current state I cannot recommend a game that doesn't launch on a common platform.. I liked this game. It is a good story with some nice character and story development, so the potential is there. The problem is that it just felt artificially short. Short games are fine, but not when it rushes you to an incomplete, to-be-continued ending, and there's since been no follow-up.I will recommend this game, but with the caveat that you should NOT buy it anywhere near full price, and you should be aware that you're getting a short game that feels like it is half or one-third of a full game. Know what you're getting yourself into. For me, I didn't regret playing it; I was just disappointed by the "ending" and lack of a next episode.. There aren´t many visual novels about zombies and they do a great job telling the story. This one here really has a unique style and I hope WW plans a sequel.If you like Winter Wolves games, buy it. If you didn´t like them, take a look anyway. You might be pleasantly surprised.10/10. Got laid three times by three different girls.
