Date Z Dating Sim Set During Zombie Outbreak

Mass Creation and We Dig Games announced Date Z, a visual novel dating sim set in a high school during a zombie outbreak. It will launch on the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam on August 30, 2024, with a Nintendo Switch version also in the works.

In Date Z, you’re a new high school senior at a school, but establishing yourself is only a part of the issue. It is near a former military base, and it seems like a supernatural foe is tied to that. Since this is a dating sim, surviving the ensuing zombie outbreak is also tied to getting a date with one of four young women at your new school. Four of them have been revealed so far, and they are Alicia, Bao, Patty, and Vivica. The announcement also noted that people will be able to experience multiple timelines as they play. 

Here are the profiles for Alicia, Bao, Patty, and Vivica:

You can watch the first trailer showing how this zombie outbreak dating sim will work. It seems to be a fairly straightforward visual novel.

Finally, a number of screenshots also appeared showing the different situations off.

Date Z will come to the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam on August 30, 2024. A Switch version is also in development.
