Prepare for and survive doomsday in stylish comic book RPG This Is Not A Test

In a similar way to the creator of Imaginary Range, Robot Monster Productions has fused the comic book form with a survival-RPG in This Is Not A Test: A Post-Apocalyptic Prequel.

While the game looks just like a comic book, then, the narrative is interactive and changes according to the decisions you make.

You'll step into the shoes of a bunch of characters preparing for and hoping to survive doomsday. The focus on relationships and desperation here conjures up memories of The Walking Dead.

Making decisions for your own character might be pressing enough, but your actions will also affect the others around you. It's up to you whether you'll think of others or only of yourself.

You will have to bear in mind that on occasions the help of others will serve your needs, too, you see.

Your chances of survival are influenced by your chosen skillset, your effectiveness when scavenging, your efficacy when stashing, and the way in which you interact with others.

Dodging the chemical wasteland is a good idea, too, mind.
