Zombie Cure Lab is a unique blend of base-building, resource management, and strategy, where the goal is to cure zombies rather than eliminate them. Set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies, players are tasked with constructing and managing a high-tech laboratory aimed at reversing zombification. Design and expand your lab with various facilities like kitchens, bedrooms, and research labs to support your team of scientists. Gather essential materials such as wood, metal, and glow berries to maintain and upgrade your facilities. The game draws inspiration from titles like Oxygen Not Included , Prison Architect , and Two Point Hospital , offering a fresh take on the zombie genre with its emphasis on healing and management over destruction. Shifting the focus from zombie eradication to rehabilitation offers a refreshing narrative and gameplay experience. Balancing resource collection, staff assignments, and defense strategies provides depth without overwhelming the player. The game's art style combines a playful aesthetic with post-apocalyptic elements, creating an inviting yet immersive environment. The initial tutorial lacks depth, potentially leaving new players overwhelmed by the game's mechanics. Some resource requirements, particularly for upgrades, can feel excessive and may slow down progression. Zombie Cure Lab offers a novel and engaging twist on the traditional zombie game, emphasizing healing and management over combat. While it boasts a unique concept and solid mechanics, players should be prepared for some technical hiccups and a learning curve. For fans of strategy and base-building games looking for something different in the zombie genre, it's a title worth exploring. 8/10 DISASTER | BAD | MEDIOCRE | OKAY | GOOD | GREAT |AMAZING| MASTERPIECE Reviewed on: Win11 Home 64-bit, Intel i5-11600K, GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB TUF, 32GB DDR4-3600 RAM, 2 x Kingston NV1 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD, Internet Broadband 1000/1000 Mbit If you like this review, then please consider giving it a thumbs up.

good game for what it is, devs seems to have given up but fun over all.

As this is an incomplete game in Early Access. This review for me is how it stands in its current form. (11/1/25) If you like resource management with a twist this is the game for you. You start small and slowly increase production and use more space for resources and to manage your humans and cured levelled zombies to eventually find a cure for the zombie outbreak but in doing some gives you a higher risk of nightly attacks from zombies which you freeze to cure to become workers It has promise to be a good game but needs some polish and refinement to be a great game In my play through a game breaking bug that after Day 42 (in game) every worker just stops working and moving done multiple times Occasionally I suffer random low FPS shutters

Neat and original idea, which appeals to me. Also, it's fitting for Halloween. However, the tutorial is not very good. Clearly the game has been updated and improved since the tutorial was implemented, because there are several areas in the tutorial that don't use the correct menu names when telling you what to do. This can be confusing. Also, possibly tutorial related, but shortly in to the tutorial, all my people decided to just stand around and do nothing. I had assigned some to the two buildings as initially instructed, but then the next steps direct you to build sleeping quarters and a kitchen (this is where I encountered the "look in menu X" for items that are in menu Y). I got the layout down, but everyone just stood around doing nothing. They weren't asleep, and I couldn't figure out how to tell the people to do anything. So far, while I realize I'm *extremely* new to the game, I do find it counter-intuitive and frustrating that I can't *TELL* people where to go and what to do. Instead, I have to go where I want them to be, such as a building, and tell the building to use the people. This... is weird. It's just weird. Anyway, I'll probably update this after I get a few hours in, but for now, my patience is exhausted stuck in the tutorial game and unable to get these slackers to actually build the things.

Its a good game but I would wait to buy it as there are still major bugs. Humbies get stuck and not just in tricky areas but in spaces that have been blocked off for ages, like how even did they get in there to get stuck. Buildings especially containment, cure, and guard posts need to be moved or rebuilt often because they just stop working. There needs to be a way to see how much power is being used when everything is in use because I can go from 3k power remaining to -700 in a blink. Threat levels need some work, as you build one building and it jacks up, also apperantly a cooler is a lab. Also once you have a 100+ people the lag is terrible. This game has so much potential, and its nice to see a game where you save zombies instead of just murder but yeah wait. When fixes are installed Totally buy this game.
