The Zebra-Man is a top-down pixel art action game inspired by classic Grindhouse films. More information is included in the following overview:
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 unravelling time paradoxes and blasting the enemies you encounter along the way who outnumber and outgun you.
