The apocalyptic simulator Quarantine Zone: The Last Check is officially set to launch on Steam on January 12, developer Brigada Games has announced.
Since its initial reveal back in May, the game has gained serious momentum. It’s already surpassed 1.3 million wishlists on Steam and attracted nearly 2 million players through its demo. Those numbers are what makes it one of the most anticipated indie releases in its genre.
In Quarantine Zone: The Last Check, players step into the role of a government agent stationed at a critical checkpoint during a zombie outbreak. Your job is simple on paper but brutal in execution: decide who gets through and who doesn’t. Every survivor must be screened for infection, supplies are limited, and each decision carries long-term consequences.
The full release will expand significantly on what players experienced in the demo. New tools and systems are being introduced, including a portable X-ray device that lets you scan internal organs for signs of infection or hidden contraband.
On the management side, a new base management interface provides a bird’s-eye view of operations, allowing players to oversee resources and defenses from a single screen. Additional improvements include enhanced defensive systems, unexpected zombie attacks from rooftops, and overall refinements to pacing and difficulty.
With its mix of administration, survival, and moral decision-making, Quarantine Zone: The Last Check is shaping up to be more than just another zombie game. We’ll see how it all comes together when it launches on Steam this January.
