PSN, WiiWare, XBLA: Capybara Games Are Planning Some Zombie Tactics

According to a document from the Ontario Media Development Corporation, Capybara games is apparently at work on Zombie Tactics for an unannounced platform.

The document, which details Zombie Tactics, is a list of recipients of OMDC's Screen-based Content Initiative - basically a Canadian prototype funding scheme. The document is actually quite old, posted way back in February of this year, but it looks like nobody caught onto it, or didn't care at the time due to Capybara's low profile.

Zombie Tactics is described as being a "mixture of strategy gameplay elements into the horror genre" where it drop[s] players into the heart of a devastating zombie apocalypse with nothing but their wits to get them out alive". Players will have to fend for themselves but can search for other survivors to add to their team, scavenge for weapons and supplies, and fight their way out of the city.

Since Zombies are totally the in thing right now I'm not that surprised Capybara are working on a Zombie game, hopefully whatever it is has something which makes it stand out from the pack. The document does not state any kind of platform - this could be anything ranging from iPhone to PSN to Nintendo DS, but it exists in some form.

Critter Crunch surprised a lot of people with its polish and addictive gameplay, lets see if Capybara Games can do it a second time.
