The text interludes were added to provide an opportunity for each of the character's personalities to come out. Zombies were intended to be slow, but could do enough damage so that large hordes of them could overwhelm the player. The developer commented "How free-to-play games work is that you're counting on people to get annoyed, and then having to pay to reduce their annoyance". It was the studio's first game to launch first on PC, in order to not have to balance making the game profitable for mobile, and making sure it was fun for players, wanting to avoid making it free-to-play. The story was also influenced by the goofiness of the zombie genre, and the possibilities of randomly generated storytelling. One of Rocketcat's developers said "The story is a humorous take on how America sees Canada, as thought up by someone that lives in Kitchener". The studio's previous game, Wayward Souls, released in 2014, and following that, development on Death Road to Canada began. There they are met by Mounties and a Justin Trudeau-lookalike, who easily defeat the zombies, congratulate the group and grant them Canadian citizenship. At the end, the survivors must reach the Canadian border while pursued by a massive horde of zombies. The journey north lasts 7 to 999 days depending on the difficulty level. Surviving a siege earns "Zombo Points", which can be spent on permanent upgrades for future journeys. Occasionally the group will encounter "sieges", where they must survive a growing zombie horde for a set amount of time. A character that runs out of morale will cause problems for the group. A character's morale must also be minded it can be raised or lowered through events and through running out of supplies. Gameplay consists of two parts: exploration, in which the group moves through buildings searching for supplies and fighting zombies, and text-based events, where the player must choose a response to problems and receive boons or penalties. A group of survivors, each with different skills, attempts to drive from Florida to Canada in hopes of finding safety. However, the zombies are incapable of functioning in sufficiently cold weather. The game released for Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux on July 22, 2016, with later releases for iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.Ī zombie apocalypse has killed billions and shattered world civilization. Set during a zombie apocalypse, the player attempts to guide a group of survivors to "the last zombie-free nation" of Canada. Death Road to Canada is a 2016 roguelike video game developed by Rocketcat Games and Madgarden, and published by Rocketcat.
