We reported earlier this year how legendary shareware publisher Apogee Entertainment is back. Overnight, the company announced two of its first new titles: a pixel-art high-score adventure and a zombie shooter set in New Zealand that’s eerily familiar to
Days Gone.
The zombie game is called
Dead Fury, and it stars a soldier stationed in New Zealand called Logan. The official site notes that Logan’s been infected, but hasn’t morphed into a zombie yet. If the look is similar to
Days Gone, it’s because that’s exactly what the developers are going for, according to the “Reasons to Play” section:
– Microsoft Flight Simulator
Lot of PC stuff with some handheld/early DS games in there, so you can get a pretty clear sense of what I grew up with. I’ve changed out a couple of titles from the last time I did this, primarily because I spent more time with them, or they were games that I just kept coming back to.
One Must Fall 2097 was an obvious oversight; I didn’t play it the year it came out, but I played an absolute shit ton of it as soon as I discovered it. Same went for
Battlefield 2, which was a blast at LANs with pizzas and a full squad.

There’s a reason our brains always remember the best of our relationships, with family, friends, entertainment mediums or anything. It’s a stabilising mechanism, apparently, strengthening our identity while providing reassurance. It liberates us from the present, reminds us who we are in times of self-doubt, gives us courage to go forward.
