The Zebra Man

It's the 70s, and a group of crazy scientists have been conducting atrocious experiments on you deep in a secret facility. When an unexpected ally in a raccoon mask rescues you in exchange for revenge, shedding your humanity and embracing your animal side might be your only way out. Who is Alexander Cooper, and why does the mysterious Raccoon man want you to kill him? What secrets are contained in this secret facility, and what atrocities will you have to do to escape? Get ready for time travel, interdimensional portals, and enemies who want to see you torn into a million bloody pieces. With an unmistakable visual style, a groundbreaking soundtrack, and your wild need for blood, you will travel through a succession of surreal and bloody events that will test your wits and tenacity. You'll have to use any means to get out of impossible situations while unraveling time paradoxes and blasting the enemies you encounter along the way who outnumber and outgun you.

  • Retro gaming homage – A tribute to classic top-down pixel art action games and Grindhouse movies with an Intriguing story, time travel, and plenty of pixel art blood!
  • A crazy cast of playable characters – Good guys, bad guys, scientists, and security guards, there are many characters to control, each with their own utilities and quests.
  • Live-Action Scenes – The first rule of live-action scenes is you do not talk about live-action scenes!
  • Puzzle me this? – It's not all rampage and gore; sometimes, you will need to stop and take a look around for clues and solve the puzzles.
  • Karma sucks! – Actions have consequences, right? The game's Karma System will make sure you get what's coming to you.
  • Check out the ADS – The Zebra-Man's Adaptive Difficulty System means you will never get stuck in a level. The more times you die, the easier the difficulty becomes. Enemies get slower, guns have less ammo, and more helpful items will spawn.
  • Groundbreaking soundtrack – A vibrant soundtrack to get you in the Grindhouse film mood featuring tracks from Zay Bass, Doom in Hell, Da Flex, and many more.
