Overview

The player works as a chef in a food truck and serves burgers, fries, pizza and drinks to approaching zombies. A zombie that is served in time turns back into a human, while one that is kept waiting reverts to its brain-eating state. Burgers can be stacked from the available ingredients and other objects within reach. Game*Spark reported 30 stages with three zombie types and items unlocked by meeting stage conditions.

The game is played with tracked motion controllers in a room-scale space, and Steam lists a minimum play area of 2 m by 1.5 m. Steam lists SteamVR as the VR runtime and states that Oculus Touch or Vive controllers are required. UploadVR reported that the project began as an internal game jam at Q-Games and was announced for showing at the BitSummit event in Kyoto on 9 and 10 July 2016, with the game demonstrated on both Vive and Rift hardware.

The Steam store page showed a "Very Positive" user review rating (94 percent of 67 reviews) as of October 2026.
