= Working Zombies =

Working Zombies is a comedic, top-down "slapstick action" based simulation game by the developer Jupiter about trying to manage the workflow between kind-hearted zombies and mean humans. It was revealed on a Jupiter Twitter post, and its teaser trailer was released on February 28, 2020. It has an expected Summer 2020 release for the Nintendo Switch.

Gameplay
The game has zombies trying to do their jobs correctly in 4 different areas: Plumbing, Daycare, Salon, and Airplane Stewardess. It features time-based task management and some of the areas draw parallels to other top-down simulation time-management games, such as Overcooked!. There also seems to be a 3 star-based rating system. All the areas have a simple 3-star score, but the Plumbing area seems to have a gradually increasing bar with checkpoints at 1, 2, and 3 stars.

Plot
The game takes place in a world where zombies and humans exist, but not very well. Humans seem to have hatred towards zombies. A random girl notices this and gets jobs for all the zombies to try and be accepted by humans.

Pre-Release Reception
So far, pre-release reception seems overall positive. Nintendo Life says they're excited to see Jupiter release a game that isn't picross, like many of their previous titles. Famitsu calls this breath of fresh air from picross "a new innovation of the company".
