Terminus: Zombie Survivors News

Happy Halloween 2022!



Terminus: Zombie Survivors is participating in Steam Scream Fest! 👻 To celebrate the festival, I brought a special update with Halloween-themed items and recipes.

Let me keep it short and sweet; I've added Zombie Guts and two new gut items. You can get Zombie Guts by killing special zombies at a low chance. You can hide among the zombies using the items made with Zombie Guts. Take a look:

Have fun! 🎃
