Global indie game publisher Devolver Digital has released ‘Miami Zero,’ a massive free expansion pack for the zombie checkpoint simulator ‘Quarantine Zone: The Last Check’ developed by Brigada Games, on PC (Steam) and Xbox platforms.
This expansion pack takes place in Miami, USA, immediately following the outbreak of a global zombie infection. Players will meet new survivors on the streets of this sun-drenched resort city and experience a variety of quests and an expanded gameplay system.
While the specific graphic style and sound atmosphere remain shrouded in mystery, it is characterized by a distinctive comedic tone and manner that combines the flashy and boisterous setting typical of Miami with eccentric characters.
To the starting point of the infection, glamorous and chaotic Miami
As the name suggests, ‘Miami Zero’ is an expansion pack that features a prequel-style story dealing with the origins of the deadly virus infection that engulfed the world.
Players must dive into the extreme chaos of the early stages of the infection, study the constantly mutating patterns of the virus, and track down the source of the infection.
In particular, the conspiracy-theoretic narrative, which makes it difficult to believe the government and media’s explanation that it was “a simple accident” as the mystery is dug deeper, adds to the immersion.
The vibrant and unpredictable city of Miami is filled with unique and eccentric survivors found nowhere else, and interacting with them adds to the fun.
Surge in symptoms and bizarre smuggling… Reinforced checkpoints and escape operations
While continuing their primary mission of operating the checkpoint, the player must also secure a ‘city exit’ that everyone in Miami desperately desires. The key is to search the quarantine zone to find a surviving technician capable of repairing the damaged luxury yacht, which becomes the best key to escaping the chaos-stricken Miami.
According to foreign media and the developers, this expansion pack adds a large number of new signs of infection resulting from virus mutations, such as suspicious scars, rotten organs, and gastrointestinal parasites.
In addition, a precision inspection system has been introduced to detect smuggled drugs that survivors attempt to bring inside by hiding under hats, in fists, or even swallowing them, requiring even more stringent and in-depth judgment.
Surpassing millions of cumulative players… Continuing communication for K-gamers
‘Quarantine Zone: The Last Check’ boasts unique gameplay where the player takes on the role of a checkpoint manager amidst a zombie outbreak, inspecting numerous survivors to isolate and send those with suspected symptoms to examination rooms or classify healthy individuals into living zones.
The game is a hit that has accumulated millions of users since its official release this year. To expand its reach to domestic users, publisher Devolver Digital is actively sharing news of the expansion pack release and discounts through its official Korean X channel (formerly Twitter, @DevolverKR).
‘Expansion Pack’ to Soothe the Main Game’s Shortcomings… Will It Be a Breakthrough with Added Depth?
Reviews of the original main game are somewhat mixed. According to third-party aggregation sites, Steam ratings show a “very positive” response from users, but some have pointed out the repetitive gameplay structure and lack of polish.
PC Gamer, a famous PC game media outlet, also gave it a score of 60, expressing regret that “it would have been better if the basic management elements, test types, and patient diversity were richer.”
In this context , the ‘Miami Zero’ expansion pack is significant in that it greatly improves the number of symptoms and the detection mechanism, which were cited as the main game’s biggest weaknesses. However, as it is still early in the release, we plan to share news regarding Steam user reviews and official evaluations from major media outlets about the expansion pack itself through a future update.
