Point and click games used to be all the craze until around the 2010s. Now, they're usually relegated to mid size productions or simple indie titles. The genre also proved incredibly popular among Japanese flash game creators, due to the relatively simple planning and programming that goes into such a game. There are a ton of flash game creators that got into the craze, with Dassyutu being one of many. Let's look at one of their games, The Zombie 8.

To play The Zombie 8, just run it with whatever SWF player you have.

The first impressions aren't great. The translation is off and the interface is incredibly simplistic. The graphics have a very amateur early flash game look, with no shadows anywhere to be seen and a flat presentation but it accomplishes the most important thing, which is that every single interactable object will stand out.

This game stands unique in its atmosphere and how it feels like death is around every single corner. This is actually quite rare amongst escape room games, as this game is not afraid to throw a zombie right in your face and game over you if you take too long. To compensate, however, the puzzles are a lot easier to complete.

All in all, if you're a fan of point-and-click games, then The Zombie 8 is worth ten minutes of your time. It's a very worthwhile use of your time.
