Checkpoint Zombie Sim Quarantine Zone Climbs Steam Charts After Dead by Daylight Crossover

Strong interest in its medical‑inspection premise is offset by critiques of repetition and light management.

Overview

  • The indie from Brigada Games and Devolver Digital launched on Steam on January 12 and is listed at $20 with a 10% launch discount through January 26.
  • SteamDB figures cited in coverage show daily peak concurrent players holding around 20,000 to 27,000, putting it at the top of Steam’s trending charts for several days.
  • On the storefront, the game features in Steam’s Top Sellers and holds a Mostly Positive user rating from more than 1,500 reviews.
  • A free Dead by Daylight collaboration rolled out this week, adding four survivors from that series to the pool of characters who can appear at the checkpoint.
  • Reviews praise the tactile exam mechanics but note repetitive encounters, limited base management, a campaign finished in under 12 hours, and early reports of bugs and colorblind‑mode shortcomings.
