Inspired by the feeling of hopeless doom present in Lucio Fulci’s movies, Heartbeats was created in Game Maker Studio 2 with the visual style of old handheld gaming consoles such as Nintendo’s Game Boy. With emphasis on survival rather than fighting, weapons are scarce and just one zombie bite is fatal. The way different areas of the game are intertwined was inspired by the recent Resident Evil remakes. Meaning that there is not just one path.

Will you choose the sewers or rooftops to reach your escape vehicle? Choose wisely, or you may end up getting lost in the zombie infested night.
