Game Overview
A rotten little bar becomes your workplace in this VR simulator, where zombies expect bloody cocktails, questionable cuisine, and fast service with plenty of theatrical mess. The tone leans more cartoon-horror than survival horror: grotesque ingredients and undead customers are played for dark comedy rather than genuine scares. Behind the gruesome menu is a hands-on bartender fantasy built around satisfying physical interactions, bizarre recipes, and the constant pressure of keeping a hungry crowd from turning impatient.
Serving customers means preparing blood-based drinks through three distinct mixing methods, then assembling food from ingredients that would make even a zombie hesitate. You chop creatures pulled from an aquarium, cook strange cuts of meat, fry severed fingers, and occasionally deal with the local delicacy of dead rats. Customers react directly to your successes, mistakes, and antics, so the job is not simply following recipes; timing, presentation, and handling each order matter. Successful shifts bring cash and tips, which open up new dishes, mechanics, characters, and decorative items for improving the bar, while pests such as bats and spiders add extra distractions to manage. Virtual-reality controls make the chopping, frying, pouring, and serving feel like the focus rather than a menu-driven minigame.
Its strongest appeal is the commitment to gross-out slapstick, pairing colorful zombie-world visuals with reactive patrons and a soundtrack that changes pace as progress builds. The invented zombie language gives customers personality without leaning on long dialogue, while collectible items—including tools for messing with patrons—encourage playful experimentation beyond efficient service. It is a lighter, sillier alternative to intense VR cooking games, sharing some of the frantic order management of Overcooked while keeping the action firmly first-person and physical. Players who enjoy goofy horror, interactive VR props, and score-chasing restaurant loops should find plenty to chew on; anyone wanting a serious horror experience or a realistic bartending sim should look elsewhere.

My antivirus is blocking the game — is it safe?
