Southern EnglandGenre: Adventure, Indie, SimulationDeveloper:Niels Bauer GamesPublisher:Niels Bauer GamesRelease Date: 2 Oct, 2015 Dead But Alive! Southern England Download 13gb If you enjoyed Tell Tale games then you may enjoy this one... if you also enjoy mini games that serve no point except to give you a chance at killing yourself (cue fight mechanic) then you will definitely enjoy this!Played for about 4 hours and maybe half an hour into the game the fighting mechanics really started to annoy me so I turned them off and went with the visual novel... enough storyline for 3 and a half hours of visual novel play through... although there were peculiarities with some of the text like repeating a line further into the conversation.Also, a character may make an exiting the conversation statement but their picture remains as a kind of ... why are you still here... I thought you left a minute ago moment :sGathering food and supplies seems to be a bit random... going for a food supply can give 1-18 food (in my game) but the majority of the time I got more food from going after other supplies which was weird.If I had to give this anything it would be a 3/5 decent storyline... strange text conversations where it hasn't been properly vetted and I'm just not sure whether the supply gathering is meant to be random or not... or if there was something faulty in the coding... but yeah. 3/5 - definitely worth a play through if only for visual novel (the combat system is wweeeeird). Game finishes on a 'to be continued' - it's been over a year since then and no sign of the 2nd part of the game.. Awful game.I don't normally review games I haven't completed but even before I ran into a game-breaking bug I was completely fedup with this game.It's just an appalling mish-mash of zombie survival + visual novel.The characters are stereotypical and lack depth. The conversation is stilted and boring, oftentimes with different people saying the same line at different stages. The text explaining the survival bits where you weigh up and embark on different resource runs is poorly written, boring and repetitive. There's so many elements that just seemed half baked, like key survivor health levels. Or the fact one of my group kept begging for a new kitchen, despite that fact that when I got it I never used it as it was far more cost effective in resrouce time to go scavenge food! Anyway, the consequences of running out of food or making too much noise never materialise either so you can forget about worrying about that new kitchen!The 'cost' of certain actions doesn't match what is stated e.g. cooking costs 2 resource + 1 food when you have the new kitchen and even when I had that it wouldn't complete at times. Other times it would ask for 60 ammo for something but I could still complete the action with far less!It's just all-round awful, bugged, amateurish and rough as all hell and that full-price ticket it is a joke. I got it for ~£3 and I still feel ripped off. I'm refunding this and if I don't get the refund I will be deleting it from my account. Never has a game made me so annoyed, and the game breaking bug was just the icing on the cake!FYI, my bug was the plot was no longer advancing after I got the tank. The days kept advancing but no story materialised. We were supposed to use the tank to rush a bandit camp and it never happened. Dev options did appear for some reason in the bottom corner of the game, for some reason, which would let me skip around plot points but I was just too fed up at that stage to continue.. Dead But Alive! Southern England is a game that I can't recommend because:- it's not worth the money- it's incomplete- the storyline is not finished- some scenes doesn't have a background yet - it is pointless- the only good reason to install this game is for the trading cards. This game has interesting characters and builds up the tension nicely. And you can romance boys too and not just girls.
