About this game
From the mind of Sinyster Soulutions Studios comes a brutal, wave-based zombie survival experience that bleeds directly into the universe of their hit show, CRITICAL FAILURE.
You aren't just playing a game; you are surviving the aftermath. As the show's narrative twists, mutates, and fractures, the game evolves in real time. Every lore drop, every catastrophic broadcast event, and every "critical failure" on screen rewrites the rules of your survival.
4-PLAYER wave based zombie survival that evolves with the shows episodic content release.
Watch the show "CRITICAL FAILURE" on YOUTUBE today to understand the simulation your living in.

We Owe You : Update
We have removed Joseph Gordon-Levitt from the game due to him serving his sentence on the SPICY MEME HORROR SHOW. He has three episodes too survive, he made through the first and almost the second now without a fuss. So, he gets his poster taken down, but if he can't survive the third episode his wanted poster will be reuploaded to the game for three months. We will see what happens next, in the meantime we have fixed issues with the zombies as well as added 25 characters instead of 8. We hope you enjoy the update, and you may notice one of our zombies have an issue, but we are currently working that issue out. Thank you, guys, so much for being fans of the future of gaming. Please feel free to enjoy the " SPICY MEME HORROR SHOW", it is free on YouTube! If you would like to get roasted yourself, please visit WWW.SINYSTERSOULUTIONSSTUDIOS.COM and find the SPICY MEME HORROR SHOW tab and there you will find information on what we are doing with the show and the rules that apply. Anyone currently in the shows spotlight will appear in-game on a wanted poster. Please enjoy our content.

HOLLYWOOD MADE IT IN THE GAME.
This event is to give a big shout out to a SUPERSTAR. Joseph Gordan-Levitt is in the spotlight. This man decided it would be wise to try and stalk us, pose as a police officer, and have us leave a property we otherwise would have filmed at. Since he stole away content we would have given you, we are now using him as a replacement. It is only fair since he got away with a sick and crazy crime. I hope all our fans enjoy how much we are heating up the elites and we hope you all stick around for more. We added Local Fog Volumes to three different areas and added a bounty poster in the "NorthEasternOutpost" at outpost location. We have been working reallly hard to get updates and news to everyone but due to HOLLYWOOD assholes we have been slightly heald up by gand stalking and vandalism. We are SINYSTER SOULUTIONS STUDIOS LLC, and this update is meant to remember forever, what Joseph Gordan-Levitt did. We hope that anyone else with this experience has been able to come forward to police due to our bravery.Read full article on Community Announcements (Sinyster Soulutions Studios LLC)
