Now & Then v1.00.0 (English)

Most zombie games focus on the undead threat, but Now & Then shifts the lens to something harder to navigate—learning to be a father during the apocalypse. Jack Brooks isn’t just fighting infected and scavenging supplies; he’s figuring out how to raise an adopted teenage daughter when normal parenting advice doesn’t exactly cover “explaining why we can’t go outside during a pandemic collapse.”

Fatherhood During the End Times

Now & Then is a story of Jack (or a name of your choosing) Brooks, a widower who lives with his adopted teenage daughter, Carol, during the aftermath of a global pandemic. Throughout the story, players witness the string of events that finds Jack adopting Carol and how they grow into a family unit before the collapse of civilized society. Inspired by Stephen King’s The Stand and numerous zombie movies and books, Now & Then is a tale of survivors learning to cope with life as it comes to them. While the present is filled with tense moments as the Brooks family struggles with challenges of the new normal, including bandits, the infected, and their own dwindling supplies, memories of the past provide a slice-of-life window as Jack tries to learn how to be a new father to a teenage girl.
