After Inc, Plague Inc creator Ndemic's newest release, is out now
It sees you rebuild humanity in the wake of, what else? A zombie apocalypse
Manage your citizens, manage your society, survive nature and the undead
Those of you who are longtime players of Ndemic Creation's iconic pandemic simulator, Plague Inc, will fondly remember the challenge of the Necroa virus. Letting you live out your zombie apocalypse fantasies, it was also one of the more challenging plagues to propogate. But, have you ever wondered what happened after you closed that scenario? Well, welcome to After Inc, where you'll find out.
While it does marginally tie into Plague Inc, After Inc is more of a standalone release that merely uses the Necroa virus as a fun bit of backstory. But this survival strategy sim sees you take on the now-familiar role of a leader rebuilding society after a zombie apocalypse has ravaged it and whittled humanity to the metaphorical bone.
Ndemic, who has branched out into all manner of societal simulators such as Rebel Inc, are well-suited for a genre like this. You'll, naturally, have to not only rebuild material conditions but also balance your approach, survive frigid winters and natural events, as well as the ravening hordes of undead that are still out there. Think you've got what it takes? Try it now on Android and iOS!
What I personally find interesting is not only the neat little throwback to Plague Inc with the Necroa virus but also that Ndemic seems tied to that artifact title of "Inc" anyhow. I somehow imagine Plague Inc would've had you playing a more overtly villainous group at one point because, after all, I can't see a post-apocalyptic survivalist council exactly being like an incorporated company.
In any case, for fans of Ndemic's previous releases, and those of you looking for a proper zombie apocalypse-rebuilding simulator from a developer with a suitable track record, this will be an exciting release.
