Quarantine Zone: The Last Check launches on 2026-01-12, offering players the role of a zombie plague doctor. Developed by Brigada Games and published by Devolver Digital, the simulation presents clever medical examination systems with limited base management features.
Game Mechanics and Tools
Players are tasked with screening survivors at a military outpost for signs of infection, contraband, and other illnesses. Exams involve checking eyes, temperatures, and reflexes, amidst other procedures. To aid in diagnosis, players gain tools like skin-sign detectors and organ scanners. However, symptom variety is limited, leading to repetitive gameplay.
Base Management and Activities
Base management is minimal: players restock supplies like food and fuel through simple menu clicks. Originally planned manual supply missions were cut, reducing engagement. Tiny diversions such as a lab minigame and drone defense segments exist but don't significantly diversify gameplay.
Though Quarantine Zone presents creative ideas, the lack of variety and thin management elements result in a campaign that ends under 12 hours, failing to sustain interest. Despite its intriguing premise, the game doesn’t fully capitalize on its potential.
