Extremely creative text-based game that provides a realistic view into what Type 1 diabetes is like to live with everyday, while giving you a world to explore. I want to echo that the ASCII art and status windows were really unique additions! Glancing over to see your blood sugars jump 2 points and start panicking... It gave a text-based game a sense of urgency I hadn't experienced before. Loved it! Looking forward to seeing future updates!

About This Game
ZOMBETES is a zombie survival game where you play as a diabetic.

To survive, you must manage your blood glucose levels while avoiding infection. Navigate through procedurally generated levels in search of insulin and nutrition. Find items to barricade yourself, rest, and move on.
Death is inevitable. The question is how long can you stay alive?
In your travels, you can encounter the remains of other ZOMBETES players whose lives have already expired. And when your time inevitably comes to an end, so too can other players find and loot your belongings.


You will also face NPC survivors who might come to your aid, or turn into adversaries.
In the fight for your life against the walking dead, there's no time to stop and smell the roses. Your blood sugar is dropping: eat the sandwich, inject the insulin, and find your next dose.

User Reviews
I enjoyed what i did play. Good design choices. Slightly limited on creativity but not too bad. Still some bugs to work out.
For a 5E text-based game. It has a lot of interesting stuff and a quite few commands. It's too early to recommend it or not but I will get back with edit. It has potential.
