Carrion Re-Animating
Zombie Cow has made a video game based on Lovecraft’s “Herbert West: Re-Animator” entitled “Carrion Re-Animating”! This little game looks like a fun adaptation of the story idea, and I can’t wait to give it a try.
The game is a strange crossbreed between a platformer and a puzzle, with each relative leaving after you’ve kicked the corpse to them. This does leave the bloodthirsty corpse still wandering about the house and if they meet someone they don’t know,well, it’s only one more corpse. One more corpse that has its own loved ones, and may have informed the police…you get the idea.

What the Escapist fails to mention is that the game is part of the Commonplace Book Competition, which features quite a few more amateur/independent games – some of them also well worth playing.
