Zafehouse: Diaries

Has anyone tried this? I only heard about it when GOG released it a while ago and it certainly seemed pretty interesting. I tried the demo and against all odds it didn't turn out to be horrible either. So I thought asking here if anyone had any actual experiences of the full game?

The concept seems cool. The demo only had three survivors instead of the full game's five, but I already liked how their relationship with each other changes the gameplay. Though It feels a little exaggerated that they all pretty much hate each other: when you are one of the only survivors after the zombie apocalypse, you'd think it would be smart for a while to at least try working with the others and not hating them just because they happen to be, you know, women or black.

I didn't get very far yet, but barricading my safe house against the zombies and scavenging supplies from the nearby houses had the right kind of survival feeling in it. Then I tried assaulting a factory full of zombies with my three brave survivors armed with baseball bats. It didn't end well, but it's not like I had a choice: I hadn't seen a single gun, let alone ammo for one after the initial 9 rounds for the handgun had been shot.

The interface is pretty smooth. I like how the game basically revolves around three menus and is completely text based. That ensures that the survivors actually feel like fallible human beings who mess up every now and then, instead of many other "survival horror" games where the player takes the first person view of a character and single handedly slaughters everything that moves.

This definitely seems like something to keep an eye on.
