a labyrinthian megalopolis - viral holocaust - genetic mutation - sinister corporations - zombies - guns - violence - action - horror - apocalypse - cyberpunk - a talking grizzly bear and a cute girl in bunny fur - i’m into it! - e-versions of this have been around years but i much prefer real [...]
