The Totema Studio team traveled 500 miles to showcase Zombiotik to over a thousand players at PAX East in Boston. The reception was incredible with many 8-player matches. One attendee called it 'the best game at PAX' and immediately pledged $200 to our Kickstarter campaign.

Kickstarter Campaign - March 20 - April 19, 2019

Our Kickstarter campaign was a success, reaching 121% of our funding goal. It was an intense and rewarding experience for the team at Totema Studio, marking an important milestone in bringing Zombiotik to multiple platforms.

Steam Release - May 9, 2019

Zombiotik launched in Early Access on Steam for PC, Mac, and Linux. Additional characters were added for 'Heroes of Humanity' Kickstarter backers, and development began on console ports to bring the game to an even wider audience.

Press Quotes

"Kickstarter Project of the Week: Zombiotik"

Alex Harding , Switchaboo

"I don't like zombie games, but I love this one"

Our Moms , Impartial Fans Since 1985

"It makes me scream a lot"

Anonymous Patreon Member , That's What She Said

"We started by creating a sandbox with simple mechanics, concentrating on the controls to make an amazing experience. We had to figure out how 8 players could play locally and make sure they always have something to do. We carefully crafted our game modes to enable this."

Gabriel Le Breton , Developer, Totema Studio

"We combined two styles into a single game. We give the players a clear cartoon image to guide their way, then we switch to 3D voxel while in-game so the player's imagination does the rest."

Samuel Taillon , Art Director, Totema Studio

"We built a stable and flexible playground so it's easy for us to add on top of it. Although the mechanics are simple and the gameplay is tight, the real fun begins when you hear a friend scream as you infect their character by surprise."

Maxime Boudreault , Lead Developer, Totema Studio

"You call a few friends, ask them to bring their own controllers, sit on the couch, start the game and just have fun. As quick and simple as that."

François Dessureault , Project Manager, Totema Studio
