• Butcher by day, people hunter by night - ZOMBUTCHER sounds like a fun but gruesome sim | GamingOnLinux

  As a butcher you serve people meat, but what if the meat is also people? You can't help it in ZOMBUTCHER, since you're a Zombie. Sell meat to normal humans during the day, and hunt them down to butcher them at night as you manage a rather gruesome and dark business. You're going to need some BRAAAAINS for this one.
