Outbreak: Devious Beginnings
A hospital overrun with the undead...
Beware! This survival horror nightmare is designed to look, play, and sound like a brutally difficult and archaic '90s era experience. It's part of the legacy Outbreak series and was developed by a solo developer a long time ago, but this version includes some quality of life improvements. Only proceed if you're comfortable experiencing a truly retro experience, with pure 2D overhead gameplay, slow and deliberate movement, crushing inventory management, and non-stop pixelated gore. So... if you're brave enough to face these fears...
Explore a nightmarish environment, scrounge for supplies, and battle the undead in Outbreak -- a brutal survival horror game with optional co-op. The clock never stops as you attempt to manage an extremely limited inventory with a murderous horde on the hunt. Choose between acquiring additional weapons, healing items, or necessary tools for progression. You have only one life. Make it count!
