Z-Collapse
<h2 class="bb_tag" >THEY ARE RISING</h2>Deep within a body, a new virus is born, and it is ready to change the world for the worst. It annihilates its bearer and transforms it. Not yet alive and yet not quite dead, the senseless body answers to a calling, a thirst for blood and flesh.<br><br>The dreaded zombies have arrived. They spread, bringing mankind's downfall with them. With rumours and videos on social media, it is no longer possible to remain blind to the problem.<br><br><span class="bb_img_ctn"><img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1804500/extras/17ee2c617150c277e7e719212bd1d2ff.avif?t=1774609299" width=600 height=374 /></span><br><br><span class="bb_img_ctn"><img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1804500/extras/b7c767993527026271ab13a111a0ba05.avif?t=1774609299" width=600 height=378 /></span><br><br>Unlike most other zombie culture stories, <strong>Z-Collapse</strong> emphasizes the early stages of the pandemic. How will world leaders try to limit contagion, avoid panic, manage refugees, combat hordes, or simply avoid their downfall?<br><br>It is up to you to choose among 154 available countries, and answer those questions. Your country depends upon you to survive.<br><br><strong>Z-Collapse</strong> offers a different rhythm than other strategy games. This is not a game about conquering the world, but a survival game. You will first have to tackle damage control, you will have to learn to take shots and yet stand up. After barricading yourself, and thanks to your planning and advanced technologies, you will be able to regain control of the situation.<h2 class="bb_tag" >FEATURES</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li><strong>154 playable countries</strong>. Far from all being equals. The most resilient might not be the most obvious ones.<br></li><li><strong>Resource management</strong> is necessary to the survival of your population, for base-building, and to develop an army.

The "Z" obviously stands for "Zombies", and the "Collapse" is the game theme. I also obviously hope that all what happening right there now will come to an end soon.</i>
