A choose - your - own - adventure fashion book is a natural accession to the zombi musical genre , but Zombocalypse Now is a amazingly wacky entry . star a snarky , chainsmoking stuffed bunny rabbit , the record book pits you against mobsters , toothpaste executives , and zombified zoo animals .
When I first heard about Matt Youngmark ’s Chooseomatic record book , I fully expect I ’d get a pretty aboveboard ( perhaps even perfunctory ) take on the zombie apocalypse where the only twist was the multithreaded , Choose Your Own escapade - inspired storytelling layered over it . It ’s something we ’ve seen before ; last twelvemonth , a pair of designers free a prefer - your - own - end film , The Outbreak , with a similar premiss . But I was pleasantly surprised when the book arrive and I found a pink , chain saw - wielding bunny on the top and a note at heart warning me to obviate the zombie kitten .

Zombocalypse Now does n’t just feature a pink stuffed rabbit ; you are the pink stuffed rabbit , endure in a world where gourmandize animals walk , talk , and intermarry with the human population . As the book open , you are waiting on what is sure to be another atrocious online date . And sure enough , when he or she shows up , they ’re disheveled , glassy - eyed , lacking in hygienics , and mumbling something about brains . You ’ve been on so many unfit dates that it takes you a while to reckon out that they ’re undead , but presently enough , you ’re up to your bleary elbows in the walking dead .
From here there are , of course , multiple paths your bunny ego could take from here . You could tail along with a apostate bull named Mittens ( who , despite the name , is not a stuff animal ) . You could visit your confederacy theorizer admirer Ernie , who is convinced that the walk dead are powered by fluoride in the water . You could seek to strike out on your own and bash in as many zombie mental capacity as you possibly can . You just desire that the choice you make lead to your ultimate survival .
raider alert : you commonly end up zombie chuck .

To get the full impression of Zombocalypse Now , you have to read through several of the plotlines . Some are , true , stronger than others ( there ’s an queerly rushed one where you go all I Am Legend and protrude experimenting on the zombies ) , but taken together , the stories do form a cohesive narrative , and the logical system from one plotline still moderate true in the others . For example , in several storylines , the zombies are unco attracted to your car ( as in licking the windshield ) , and in one of screw thread , we learn exactly why . The chilling and rather comical causal agency behind the zombie spirit irruption is also key ; you learn about it in certain storylines , but it meet a pregnant role in others — including one stop where you mistakenly consider you ’ve survived .
Youngmark packs a lot of strange betting odds and stop into his zombi spirit dangerous undertaking , and cherrypicks citation from a wide variety of genre : rabble moving picture , copper drama , the works of Stephen King , and The Postman , to name a few . There ’s even a moment where you let out the battle cry “ Leeeeeeroy Jenkins ! ” The effect is over - the - top silliness , like someone mark a specially manic children ’s book in the midst of a zombi eruption . surely , it ’s a bit on the downy side , but I found myself thirstily flipping back to strain out different plotlines — at first to see if I could survive , then to root out some of the Scripture ’s more bizarre eddy and turns . It ’s a satisfying fashion to drop a match 60 minutes here and there , even if you do die most of the meter .
And do watch out for that zombie kitten . It ’s a killer .
