60 of 77 · most liked firstGot Episode 1 as a free giveaway from Steam and I decided to play it, had tons of fun so I bought Episode 2. Episode 2 is shorter overall (couple of hours) but is as well-written and fun as Episode 1. Costs less than a coffee too. Recommended. Now give us Episode 3!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A point-and-click adventure that further cements the series' identity, pairing familiar systems with fresh scenario design. The pacing is snappier and the consequences of your choices land more clearly.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The sequel to (second day of) "Scheming..." is just as foul-mouthed and irreverent as the first. Pleny of low-brow humor and zombie hijinks! Now with more alcohol!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Full Walkthrough: https://youtu.be/PIIYK95WIrg Gameplay: Decent Graphics: Cartoon Music: Very Good Story: Funny PC Requirements: Potato Game Time: 1.5 hrs - 2 hrs
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You have to sit through long cutscenes, but there is only an autosave so if You want to replay anything like the gambling minigame You have to sit through the same stuff without the ability to click through dialog You already heard 4 times... I had to play Hearthstone on my mobile phone while replaying the game for missed achievements to somehow bare the unskippable repeats.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fancy strategy game with different options that impact the story. It’s funny, featuring dark humor, but the only downside is its length. Overall, it’s a 10!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Scheming Through The Zombie Apocalypse Ep2: Caged continues right where the first left off, with Hank and Larry once again relying on wit and schemes instead of fighting or scavenging. The humor is sharp, cynical and strongly focused on dialogue, feeling more like an interactive cartoon than a conventional game, just like the first episode. 🎚️ Difficulty 🔲 My grandma could play it 🔲 Easy ☑️ Normal 🔲 Hard 🔲 A challenge to be reckoned 🔲 In the heat of confrontation, (Only PVP games)…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finally after like 3-4 years of being a beta tester of this game its finally out! So happy it is and i really hope it gets a boost in awareness, its such a funny take on how to survive a zombie outbreak! Loved Ep1, I love the funny story, animals and such! I really recommend this hidden gem to people who want to have a laugh while someone is getting eaten by a zombie lol x3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't really know what to write. I enjoyed the Ep. 1 but this one seems too short for me. I do wanna see more episodes however, will definitely buy them. You have made two typos in the game that i've noticed; "Lost item: Wiskey" "Then instead of Than".
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was worth the 4 year wait!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Interesting story , beautiful art style , lots of humor/dark humor , gambling , manipulation and you can even get the scavengers killed with your choices. 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →These games were brief and delightful. I would pay you developers more money for more content should you ever release it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A sequel to the first episode, it is only an improvement. Not in every sense, the animations are still passable at best, focus remained on the dialogue, interactions, and mental manipulation and choice making gameplay. Voice acting still goes hard, it's just the first episode but more of it. What really got better is the gameplay's action-reward, though it is subtle. This makes it easier to just passively enjoy the game as, while choices still are complex and very far from obvious, the results…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had a lot of hope for the second episode but was truly let down. The humor felt forced unlike the first episode and the game felt more like a chore unlike the first game. Do not get your hopes up, first one is better 100%
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Episode two makes things better by giving your choices more impact than the beginning. Decisions affect how other characters (rat, zebra, llama and squirrel are my favorites) react to you and how the story ends, while keeping the same funny chemistry between the leads. Overall, it feels more polished and more rewarding to play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Glad to have played the 2nd part of this little adventure :D. I really enjoyed the continuation of the story and again, the jokes and dialogue is just so amusing xD. would recommend
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No one’s paying attention, so here’s the truth: I am very much bitchless
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its a funn narrated story with some options on events and outcome. if you have a dirty sense of humor play this and play the previous chapter. its so much fun!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the "humor" seems forced. not my cup of tea
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →FOR THE MONEY WORTH IT I LOVE IT
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cracking myself while playing the Ep2. Still as good as the Ep1.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As someone who played the first episode a few years back, episode 2 bought back my expectations by really challenging me on what I should say to get people on my side, while also trying to get the best deal I could possibly get from scavenging. I also liked some of the game's humor as it was both dark and hilarious, while the game made me tense, as some of my choices made me freeze up wondering if I ended making the wrong one. Overall, episode 2 was a very enjoyable experience with a very…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I Would recommend this game if you have some humor even though the game is about ripping of your scavengers, this is my type of story, and a lot of plot twist.

unlabelledView post →Tierlist C - Purchased Scheming Through The Zombie Apocalypse: Caged continues right after The Beginning, following Henry and Larry as they join the Scavenge Guild and keep looting abandoned stores by sending others to do the risky work. The mechanics are mostly the same as before, though there’s a nice addition — you can now drive a car and avoid road obstacles, which adds a bit of variety since crashing can make you lose items. The graphics remain consistent with the first game: simple but…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Digital trash, not a game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game not for everyone that being said could've been less shorter in length gets boring quickly. When you're trying to complete all achievement and get a perfect game

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Scheming Through The Zombie Apocalypse Ep2: Caged I have been waiting for SO LONG to read the next part of the story of Hank and Larry! I was not disappointed at all! Around 2h to complete, a bit more if you are after the achievements. I hope we won't have to wait another 7 years to get part 3, if there will be a part 3, judging from the end of the story of ep2! my favourite moment ''I feel like I'm in the last season of Lost nothing makes sense...'' thanks for pointing that out, I totally…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short, but very entertaining! Well worth the play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Scheming Through The Zombie Apocalypse Ep2: Caged is a side-splitting sequel that delivers everything you loved about the first episode and then some! 🧟♂️💥 From the moment you jump back into Ted's shoes, you're thrust into a world of absurdity and hilarity that's impossible to resist. The writing is as sharp and witty as ever, with laugh-out-loud moments around every corner. 😂 What sets Caged apart is its ability to balance humor with genuine heart. Amidst all the chaos and undead…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If it's like the first one, it deserves this Positive Review without me playing it (Which I will soon!) As good as the first one, really! With a bit of added gameplay; know that if you get this it will probably never get a sequel, though you will be helping its chances
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Goofy little point and click game. I got it in a fanatical mystery bundle and am glad i did. Its pretty short but is a great little time killer especially for mobile play. I played through it with gamenative on my phone and loved every min of it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Platinum 012 & 013: Scheming Through The Zombie Apocalypse Ep2: Caged (PS4/PS5) Hank and Larry are back conning animals, avoiding "weirdos" and still in search of the zombie free island ticket. A couple hours for the plat filled with laughs & wtf. Still hoping for Ep3. #Playstation #videogames 🎮

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i honestly think the first game was better imo it was a bit longer aswell The story is still good Just like the first game, it's still fun and tbh worth it at full price. When it goes on discount, it will probably feel like you robbed them, ngl. If you have played the first game and loved it, you will love this game too. If you haven't played the first game, go play it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the same as episode 1 , no special
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Utilize the important ‘authority principle’ and have a few laughs.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Had a good time, a fun and chill game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's an ok play. Maybe not as good as the first one. Pretty much the same humor and gameplay. It feels a bit short and kind of just ends without any big resolution.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Using intoxication as a way to camouflage among the zomb... I mean, weirdos. Who would have thought of that?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not as good as the first but a solid sequel. Full achieves in 8 hours.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tons of jokes, tons of fun, a little cursing ;), a little math and psychology - packed into 2-3 hours of apocalypse manipulation, scavenging and drinking, with many revelations along the way. A worthy sequel. My favorite part of this game is by far the art style though. I'm obsessed with the way everything looks and feels! I hope the world looks like this when it actually falls apart!

This episode builds upon the dark humor and strategic manipulation introduced in the first installment.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →funny,simple, short Want 3rd episode
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →$5.99 for just under 2 hours is possibly not worth it for some people. Other than that the game is enjoyable enough.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fantastic sequel! Already looking forward to the next episode and still holding on to the faint hope that this will turn into an animated tv series at some point😁
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is not unethical if someone else does it. Scheming Through ep2 is a mixture point and click visual novel. It builds on game play from episode 1, such as actual movement of Hank and Larry. The jokes land with both snarky and dark humor. The main game of gathering supplies and trying to get the most amount of points is interesting. Pros: Solid jokes good marketing lessons good artstyle cons: wish you could move episode 1 saves weird driving minigame in short: Episode 2 of a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This episode is all about making money. Be careful who you trust.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome game, if you played Ep1 I highly recommend trying Ep2, it is fun. Hope to see Ep3 someday!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has a type of Humor That i miss. Game is a point and click type adventure where you get a bunch of nps and use psychology to manipulate them into getting you loop. Great life lessons to be learned here lol
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It took long ago for the game to come out due to the COVID-19 situation but at least now it is finally released. I hope we see episode three in the future.
