Zombie Adventure Game Jazon And The Dead Punches Its Way To Fig

Fig, the platform that funded both Psychonauts 2 and Wasteland 3, has just posted its latest video game-related project, a top down action adventure game set in the zombie apocalypse called Jazon and the Dead. The game's gorgeous visuals do a good job of making it stand out in what some might call an overcrowded genre.

The developer behind the project, 2nd Studio, also has a list up that details some of the game's proposed features:

• Player-driven story where you must weigh the consequences of your choices. The story is divided into acts, each with bridging cinematic scenes that focus on different aspects of human nature.
• Fight your way through hordes of zombies with a heavy gun or bloody fist. Ammunition is scarce so you need to make every shot count! Dash and push zombies out of your way to survive through close combat.
• Explore a world inspired by 80’s sci-fi B-movies with chunky old technology and lots of blood and gore. Your journey takes you through deserts, abandoned towns, underground caves, surviving cities and military facilities.
• Puzzle your way out of tense situations before the slow, brain devouring creatures reach you. Work cleverly with corpses in the world -- as weights or to stand on to reach your destination.
• Groovy 80's inspired soundtrack. Nothing less will do it.

To meet its funding goal, Jazon and The Dead must raise $65,000 by December 1. As with other Fig projects, those who support the project are considered investors and might stand to make back some money on their investment, though such a notion should be taken with grain of salt.
