Description

The world has fallen to the undead. But hope isn't lost — after years of research, brave scientists have discovered an antidote that can reverse zombification. The result? Zombie-human hybrids called humbies. Your mission: build a cutting-edge lab, cure the infected, and lead humanity back from the brink.

Build & Expand

Raise walls and fences to protect your scientists. Set up production lines to process materials, generate power, and support your growing facility. Efficient planning is key — every machine, room, and cable counts.

Manage & Optimize

Assign workers, prioritize tasks, and balance resources across day and night shifts. With four different worker types to manage, you’ll need smart planning to keep your lab running — and safe.

Research & Upgrade

Unlock over 200 technologies to advance through four tech tiers. Discover high-tier materials, develop advanced science equipment, and push closer to the final cure.

Capture & Cure

Use high-tech freezing guns to catch zombies and bring them in for treatment. Watch them transform into humbies — helpful hybrids ready to work. But be careful: neglect their needs, and they might rampage through your lab.

Defend & Survive

Each night brings waves of zombies. Build smart defenses, electrify your perimeter, and keep the hordes at bay. But beware: one blackout can undo everything.

Cure the World

Healing, not killing, is your path forward. Grow your workforce, manage their moods, and turn the tide of the apocalypse — one humbie at a time.

I've made a refund request at 5.2hrs playtime because that's how long the very slow, buggy tutorial took to complete. After the tutorial, it appeared that the unlocked 'real game' was actually just a set of completely

Feels like a scam game. The tutorial walks you through the mechanics well enough (despite glaring bugs that require a fair amount of patience to overcome), but when thrown into the game, it's just a sandbox. During the

Avoid at all costs! Complete mess of a game, most of the bugs they said they had fixed, they haven't. This should be in very early access, its not fit for anything else, especially a console release. 4 hours played and

tl;dr my vote is mixed, neither positive nor negative. The game is enjoyable and has a long playtime, but it's plagued by numerous bugs and poorly designed mechanics that seriously hurt the overall experience. ZCL is a

[Update 2] While they claim this is a V1.0 Full Release, the game is in an early state of Early Access. There are tons of bugs and oversights in this game right now that do not exist in normal full releases of games,

Zombie Cure Lab is a unique blend of base-building, resource management, and strategy, where the goal is to cure zombies rather than eliminate them. Set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies, players are tasked
