Evacuation Zone: Tampere

Evacuation Zone: Tampere is an action adventure set in an apocalyptic version of Tampere, Finland. You play as Matti, who sets out to save his favorite podcaster from certain death. The dead have risen and the gates to hell are opening; your friends, your parasocial attachment and the end of your psychosis medication are part of what keeps you going.

Matti and his companions

Matti has not been physically active for decades and is slow, but he is determined, fueled by substances and Finnish SISU. On the first day of the apocalypse, he and his best friend Van Mardigain went to loot a liquor store. As you progress, you meet friends from Matti’s mind and his life, if it can be called that.

Survive and fight

You move by gripping rails with your hands, use stimpacks on yourself and make use of the environment to survive. You find guns with limited ammunition and fight zombies, non-zombies and other challenging enemies. Shooting does not require reloading.

Puzzles and supplies

The game includes puzzles described as difficult for boomers, as well as situations that give you a moment to think before moving on. You can eat sausages and canned beans, and drink beer. Its action also calls for accurate aiming and listening to black metal while firing.

Finnish dialogue

The dialogue is in Finnish, with subtitles available.
