Reviews

“Outbreak: The New Nightmare is the best thing we could have dreamed of: Classic controls in a new jacket and most gameplay mechanics remained like they used to. We missed a true survival game like this for many years. If you pick up this title, be sure to conserve your ammo because if you don’t, you won’t see daylight again.”
7.5 – 3rd Strike

“Styled in ways heavily influenced by the classic Resident Evil and Silent Hill series, Outbreak feels like a love letter to the genre and those infamous roots.”
6 – Bonus Stage

“Outbreak is an impressive horror indie game that could be passed off as coming from a major publishing house title.”
65 – COGconnected
