Zombitatos: The End of the PC Master Race

Zombitatos: The End of the PC Master Race is an adventure game developed by BMC Studio. It was released for mh:awesomegames:Microsoft Windows via mh:awesomegames:Steam. The game was released twice.

Plot
Valve released Half-Life 3 and it was so good it turned PC gamers into zombies, then Gabe Newell's floating head saves the day with a Steam sale.

Why It's Not Half-Life 3

 * 1) This is not a video game. It is nothing but home-made video "cutscenes" made by a bunch of teenagers with ZERO gameplay.
 * 2) Unfunny non-joke moments.
 * 3) A stupid plot that makes absolutely no sense.
 * 4) Chapter 1 is a point-and-click game with almost nothing to click at, but Chapter 2 suddenly switches to just a few multiple-choice questions.
 * 5) The home-made videos are incredibly low-quality. The two teens don't even try to act and never bother to do any second takes or edit any mistakes. You'll often see the "actors" laugh on-screen at what they're doing.
 * 6) You can't skip the cutscenes.
 * 7) Jack (the short-haired teenager) talks in a mono-tone whispered voice and never reacts to anything.
 * 8) John (the long-haired teenager) can't go a single shot without a big cringe-inducing grin.
 * 9) In Chapter 1, Jack watches a trailer for another BMC Studio game, The Moonwalking Dead which is supposed to make him think there's a zombie apocalypse, but that Jack himself is in that trailer! The kid was fooled by his own video!
 * 10) You can clearly hear kids playing in the background when the teens are filming themselves.
 * 11) Gabe Newell is represented by an ugly drawing.
 * 12) You don't see a single "zombie" in the entire game. All of the cutscenes feel like kids playing in a school playground. Every time the "characters" die, they just walk off the screen and come back pretending to be dead.
 * 13) At the end of Chapter 2, the game forces you to give it a positive rating. They also ask you to play again and make different choices, despite the fact that on every choice, only one option doesn't result in a game over.
 * 14) There is an offensive joke that treats the United States 9/11 terrorist attack like it was a meme (what works as a meme wouldn't always work well in other media).
 * 15) BMC used Steam Direct to release this home-made video a second time with almost no changes like it was a completely different game. All there is that's new is a few bonus features, and that's it.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) Catchy theme song.

Trivia

 * Although the game was up on Steam Greenlight, it was never actually greenlit. BMCs' other home-made video on Greenlight, The Moonwalking Dead, got greenlit, allowing them to post this instead.
