Monster Meltdown

Chernobyl effort

by Matthew Diener 13/3/2013

Playing Monster Meltdown is a bit like herding cats would be if the cats in question were large enough to eat you if you made a mistake.

At the beginning of Monster Meltdown you're put in control of Yuri, a post-Soviet janitor in a research facility who accidentally lets a horde of monsters escape from their test chambers.

Rather than run screaming into the night, Yuri dons a teleporter suit and decides to capture the monsters himself.

Each monster behaves differently when they see Yuri: some charge towards him, others flee in terror, while still others continue on with their business completely oblivious to his presence. ...

Fast-paced and full of Soviet-era chic, this novel puzzler is one Red Scare you don't want to miss
