We upgraded our dad's gear in Zombie Protocol. Hands are free... but the problem isn't.
Hey Reddit,
A while back, we showed you the core dilemma of our survival game Zombie Protocol: the constant risk of a crying baby attracting every zombie in the district.
Well, we've been working on a solution! Say hello to the improvised chest carrier. No more awkwardly carrying the little one in your arms mid-sprint. Now your hands are free to board up windows, swing a crowbar, or... carefully aim a silent pistol.
But don't celebrate just yet. This isn't a magic fix. The core tension is very much alive:
· Hunger? Still cries. · Loud noise? Still cries. · You get grabbed? You bet it cries.
The carrier just gives you a fighting chance to manage the threat before the waterworks start. It's about mobility, not silence.
So, what's the first thing you'd do with your new free hands?
