Freeware Game Pick: Carrion Reanimating (Lemmy, Binky)
Herbert West in Carrion Reanimating is an action game set in a large building with multiple exits, where visitors would come knocking at any of the door and request to see if their friends are doing okay. The objective is basically to reanimate and send the right zombie to meet these people, so they can be reassured that nothing has happened and will leave you to your experiments peacefully. Should one of the guests lose their patience from waiting for a response or catch a look at their friends, then a cop will arrive shortly and attempt to find evidence of necromancy in the building. Simpy guide the other zombies away from him as he walk from one exit to another, and things would return to normal when he comes out of his search empty handed.
Use the cursor keys to move and jump, press the left control key to reanimate or kick a zombie, and tap the left alt key to flip switches. Note that zombies will be able to use switches as well after gaining some intelligence from being resurrected multiple times. Hold the tab key to view a map of the location at any time.

Stylish but a few bugfixes would be nice.

Wow! Thanks for the coverage guys! :D Lovely write up!
The new build we just put up seems to combat most of the problems we were having. Download link is the same.
Also, Binky cries a bit when people call him Blinky, but then you posted about the game so to hell with him. ;)
Thanks again!

Simiar crash on startup after update. Previous build crashed after letting me play for a while.

sorry there was a problem with the upload yesterday, and so the version after I said they were fixed was still the existing one. Apologies for the teething problems but the one up there is definitely improved stability and bug fixes to gameplay.
Thanks again!

Well, I don't know but I still get the same error.

All errors should be fixed now, thanks to an EPIC all nighter by Lemmy & Binky... head over to www.zombie-cow.com/carrion for fully-functional zombie-related naughtiness.

You need a grpaihcs card capable of shader 2.0 I'll put a check into this but in the meantime that's the only reason there should be a crash on load now I'm aware of. Sorry :(

Finally it works. I had to install the latest DirectX version.
