Gaming NewsHorror Games 9 Ayefkay June 28, 2025
Listen up, commanders: the Steam demo for Quarantine Zone (AKA “Papers, Please… if zombies crashed the party”) dropped today, and the devs over at Brigada Games just unleashed a roadmap hotter than a fresh grave robbery.
We’re talking X-ray scanners, drone expeditions, Twitch chaos – you name it.
Buckle up, buckaroos!
Back in May (May 22, to be exact), the demo gave us a taste of checkpoints, undead waves, and survival-of-the-fittest chaos. BUT…things were kind of basic: manage supplies, screen for infection, shoot zombies. Good times.
Now?
We’re getting a next-level, immersion-loaded version that actually feels like your decisions matter.

Gone are the bland NPCs shuffling through with “yes/no” responses. Incoming:
Fresh faces and dialogue: survivors will have personalities that don’t suck.
Mini events: a sneaky coughing fit? A panicked confession? Good luck deciding what’s a bluff and what’s a bite.
Rolling inspection rules: quarantine routines will shift on the fly (it’s like high-stakes bingo with blood pressure spikes).
Neurological hammer and X-ray scanner: don’t just check documents (smash bones and scan skulls instead). Brutal, cerebral, necessary.
Expanded weapon mechanics: ammo scarcity, recoil realism, tense procurement loops. If you thought clicking heads was easy, think again.
Smoother UI: because nobody wants to fumble menus when someone’s brain is halfway out.

After zombie-blasting in June, July brings the emotional gut-punch:
Survivor backstories: the quarantine queue is about to get dramatic.
Player arc: your choices carve your own hero (or anti-hero) storyline.
Ranks and collectibles: proof you survived the hellscape. Show off your loot and flex your moral ambiguity.
Tutorial rework: no more confusing nonsense (just pure onboarding goodness).
And don’t expect cookie-cutter zombies anymore – new AI and infected variants are crawling in.

Brace yourselves:
Twitch integration: chat will get to decide your fate. Will they mercy-kill that suspicious stranger? Will they troll you into extinction?
Steam Deck and controller support: play it comfy, whether you’re on the couch or hunched over your keyboard like a caffeinated goblin.
ModIO support: the workshop is about to get chaotic (in the best possible way).

Brigada’s got their hands full this summer:
Infection rules have to walk a tightrope. Too punishing and you rage quit, too soft and you stop caring.
Base management is getting a glow-up too. It needs to be more than just clicky busywork – it needs strategy, momentum, and meaningful decision-making.
Our hands-on demo review: “Quarantine Zone: The Last Check – Cooking or Over‑Seasoned?” breaks down what’s cooking (and what’s still underdone).
For the full vibes, peep the YouTube reactions. Titles like PAPERS, PLEASE… BUT WITH ZOMBIES?! say it all.

By the time the full release hits (likely around September 2025), Quarantine Zone won’t just be a game, it’s going to be the checkpoint survival sim you didn’t know you needed.
Gear. Lore. Viewer-fueled chaos. Player-driven storylines. Mod tools.
It’s all cooking.
If you thought Papers, Please was cold…wait until you’re balancing ammo, compassion, and not getting eaten.
Will you survive? Or will you become another gruesome stat in history’s worst border crisis? Probably a little bit of column A and a little bit of column B, and that’s all good with me.

Hi, I'm the founder and editor-in-chief of Report AFK, a gaming and anime site built for people who are tired of sanitized mainstream media coverage and toothless hot takes. I want to bring both the technical know-how and battle-tested gamer instincts to every article here. Whether I'm deep-diving into ARAM strats, roasting a broken patch, or side-eyeing the latest "diverse" but soulless AAA release, I write with one goal in mind: cut the fluff and tell it how it is. I've worked in digital marketing and spoke in conferences nationwide, but my heart’s always been in the trenches of gaming - whether that’s grinding ladders, theorycrafting late at night, or binge-watching the 38th questionable isekai this season. Follow my rants, insights, and updates on ReportAFK.com and let me know what you think in the comments - I read (and usually respond to) every. single. one.
A place for gamers, by gamers, untarnished by corporate gaming media and their nonstop attempts to elevate bad games while denouncing any developers brave enough to stand up to them.
