Zombie's Love Quest: Save Humanity, Get a Date!
21 Aug
Summary
- A zombie falls in love and seeks to revive his frozen beloved.
- Players can consume monsters, steal skills, and body-hack Davy.
- New studio GPTrack50 aims for unique, dark humor in action RPG.
A new action RPG, 'Stupid Never Dies', from GPTrack50, a studio founded by ex-Capcom producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi, offers a unique premise: a zombie named Davy falls in love with a frozen girl and aims to revive her. His quest to defeat the King of Monsters will inadvertently save the last 2% of humanity.
The game emphasizes "attacking, attacking, attacking," with Davy's undead state eliminating the need for conventional defense. Players can have Davy consume defeated monsters to gain their abilities and even "body hack" his limbs using different equipment to unlock new combat mechanics.
This "funky zombie action" aims for a fast, colorful, and darkly humorous tone, reflecting the creative freedom GPTrack50's team of around 30 developers enjoys. Many of these developers were recruited from major companies like Capcom, Konami, and Square Enix, allowing for stranger jokes and sharper humor than typically seen in established franchises.
The three-year production saw GPTrack50, initially lacking artists, utilize outside assets to build a prototype. Around 20 external companies contributed to the project, drawn by the opportunity to create something entirely new. Kobayashi hopes players will find this experience novel and exactly what they were looking for.
