Remember The War Z? Yeah, that one, the
zombie survival game that later became Infestation: Survivor Stories? We didn’t
cover it much here on MMORPG since it required a purchase to play, but chances
are you’ve probably heard quite a bit about the game itself and even more about
its developer/publisher OP Productions LLC and Hammerpoint Interactive. If you
don’t know those names then you’ve probably heard of Sergey Titov even if it
was for less than flattering reasons in the past.
Fast forward a bit and a new game in the
same genre appeared called Romero’s Aftermath. We covered it quite a bit in an
interview a while ago and were amused to find out that once again Sergey Titov
was involved in the project. This version of the game was free-to-play and
built on the engine that powered Infestation: Survivor Stories. Aftermath had
the input of George C. Romero (son of the better known George A. Romero of
Night of the Living Dead fame) lending it some horror cred, but even that
wasn’t enough as Aftermath announced that it will be closing up shop on Dec.
24, 2016. Free Reign Entertainment (yet another company affiliated with Sergey
Titov) has since moved on to Shattered Skies, but if you want to play that
you’ll need to buy it. One infestation down.
Anyway, back to Infestation: Survivor
Stories. Check out the game’s Steam page and click on the link for the official
site and you might end up a bit confused, since the link takes you to a page
for a game called Infestation World. What gives? Well, Thai publisher
Electronics Extreme partnered up with OP Productions earlier this year to bring
a free-to-play version of Infestation to the gaming universe. So, you could buy
Infestation: Survivor Stories (then dubbed Infestation: Survivor Stories
Classic) or you could play Infestation World for free. While the two games did
have differences it appears neither mattered, since ISS Classic is shutting
down on Dec. 15 and Infestation World will close its doors on Dec. 31.
Infestations 2 and 3 (although technically the same strain) cured.
