Have a sweet supernatural romance in this free VN
My Sweet Zombie! is a free simulation video game wherein you have the chance to romance a zombie. Developed by Tsundere Studio, this quirky 2D dating sim is a visual novel with LGBT routes and partial voice acting—pushing the boundaries between cute and creepy for its characters and story.
Similar to Monster Prom, My Sweet Zombie! features a sizeable length of gameplay and has four endings you can achieve. Take note that it’s rated 17+ as it features some mature topics like death, emotional abuse, biphobia, suicidal thoughts, and implied sexual content.
Life can be sweet and spicy
In My Sweet Zombie!, you play as Sam Chen, an overworked barista who’s thinking about her future career. One late night at the cafe, however, she encounters a zombie, of all things, and is suddenly plunged into a life-and-death situation. Fortunately for her, the zombie girl somehow loves to eat sweets—and Sam happens to be a passionate baker who is open to change, as odd as that change might be.
There are only two love interests for Sam here: the zombie girl and her friendly co-worker Liam. There are three endings in the main routes, with a polyamorous ending unlocking after you finish both love interests’ routes. The word count here clocks at more than 85,000 words so you can expect about 5 – 8 hours of gameplay. You can even get the love interests’ perspectives and some hidden scenes.
As far as the writing goes, the dialogue feels natural and flows smoothly. The voice acting is only for reactions rather than character lines but it still makes the story feel alive alongside the SFX and little animations. There are various additional settings available, like voice volume and font style. The only real downside is that there’s no text when you hover over control icons so they can get confusing.
A well-rounded story
All in all, My Sweet Zombie! is a lovely little dating sim for those interested in female protagonists with some queer love endings. There’s a lot to appreciate here despite only having two love interests and a few endings. While some of the content is not appropriate for younger players, it’s still a pretty solid VN to try out if you want a supernatural romance with some life lessons.
