Indie Game BUS: Bro U Survived Launches on Steam This Autumn

The indie game studio Herbarium Games has announced the upcoming release of their new title, BUS: Bro U Survived, set to launch on Steam this autumn. While a specific release date has not yet been confirmed, players can currently wishlist the game on the platform to receive updates.

The game unfolds in the aftermath of a sudden zombie outbreak, thrusting players into a chaotic world where survival is paramount. Central to the experience is an old school bus, a small group of trusted allies, and the quirky wisdom of G, a conspiracy theorist radio host. Players must navigate this tumultuous landscape while seeking answers to stop the looming apocalypse.

Exploration and Survival on Fang Island

Set on the fictional Fang Island, the narrative pits players against a ruthless General Mahr, who battles the enigmatic scientist Anto. As players strive to endure, they will uncover the origins of the epidemic, forge alliances with unexpected characters, and ultimately shape the island’s future.

Gameplay combines elements of survival, exploration, and creativity, offering players a unique gaming experience. The campaign supports both single-player and cooperative modes, allowing friends to join the fight against the undead. Missions will challenge players to scavenge for vital resources, rescue stranded islanders, and craft a variety of improvised weapons, from makeshift pistols to the amusingly effective boot on a stick.

Customization and Combat

At the heart of the game is the bus itself, serving as both transport and a fortified stronghold. Players can extensively customize their vehicle, choosing colors, stickers, wheels, and various decorations. Additionally, they can convert it into a formidable zombie-crushing machine by adding mounted turrets and upgrades. The bus evolves as players progress, functioning as a base of operations and symbolizing survival against the odds.

With its blend of dark humor, intense combat, and engaging cooperative storytelling, BUS: Bro U Survived aims to provide a fresh perspective on the zombie survival genre upon its release later this year. Gamers looking for an exciting mix of adventure and creativity can anticipate this title as it rolls out on Steam in the coming months.

For those eager to see what lies ahead, the official reveal trailer is available, providing a glimpse into the thrilling journey that awaits.
