Oh my word, when I started playing this game I wasn't expecting to be taken on such a journey!
I was thinking there would be stealth (which there was), and survival aspects (which there also was), but I wasn't expecting there to be such a rich depth to the story itself.
Being given a little piece of the story at a time as our character continues his struggle to stay alive against all odds, and then reaching that ending... it all got a bit overwhelming! But the fact that it all hits so hard is testament to the fantastic storytelling abilities on display and the build-up of claustrophobia and the areas get smaller and darker before we reach a wide open space and potential freedom.
This was amazing! And I can't wait to see what other great ideas come popping out of your head! =)
This was so good. The story doesn't seem like much, just the average zombie apocalypse game. But once you actually play it... oh God, how do I describe it? The story is sooooooooooo good, and the game has a nice feel to it. Good job on this game.
I had a lot of fun playing Resurgent, it was a nice chill little break from the usual fare that I play, and I'm a real sucker for pixel art and silhouettes! I only wish it had a save point when you sleep.
Don´t have words for describe this. Is the second that make feels guilty of my decisions, and pity for the main character (and the first was GTA IV). If you read this, I´m really interested in traduce the game in spanish (I´m peruvian), and I have to say this in spanish: ¡TE PASASTE DE CAGON, POR QUE TUVISTE QUE MATAR AL PROTAGONISTA?¡¡
Thank you for your interest in Resurgent. Unfortunately the English text is hard-coded into the game, making a translation of it very difficult. However, this isn't going to be the case for my next game, which will allow enthusiastic people such as yourself to translate it.
I hope my google translated Spanish makes sense... ¡EL PROTAGONISTA TUVO QUE MORIR¡¡ :(
I think coughe puts it very nicely it was a very good story and a very good idea, and i love the art style, it's just that some of the actions got tedious after a while, although for one of your first games as a indie game producer i would rate this a solid 8/10! well done :)
Beautifully executed. I loved the use of health as story telling element. You've crafted an excellent atmosphere that kept me on edge, and left me wanting to know more.
I really enjoyed playing this game a lot! It was really interesting and I had a lot of fun discovering the story and just exploring the game in general.
big credit to you mr T-Harris. i really do dig this game loved everything about it but i was kinda disappointed with the end but awesome game and good luck for the future :)
Hey, I recently played through this game and I really enjoyed it. It has a nice art-style, good music, and a well written story to keep you playing. I was wondering if you'd like to work on future projects together, I'm a programmer (I use GML and I'm learning CSharp). If you're interested message me on discord at Dawson#6181 and feel free to look at my previous projects, thanks!
ok good game, rich of story, hard, zombie and nuclear apocalypse, c o l d w a r, soviet, US, and sad ending. pretty good game to be released on steam. But I think the background need to be fixed, I mean look at those building very high and tall. Need some variety on the background building.
Thank you for the kind words. I am only in the planning stage for my next game (which is also story-driven), I hope you enjoy it just as much as this one.
Yeah, the zombie ending is the only one. I am only in the planning stage for my next game but having multiple endings is something that I'm definitely putting in. Can't guarantee they'll be happy ones though...
I spread out the food so that you only have 2/100 health when you get to the end (to increase the tension), so I'm sure you found all of them. Thank you for playing and rating the game.
HI! May I just start off with wow, amazing. This was an absolute blast to play and I have nothing but the highest praise for this game. The overall mechanics and gameplay were on point making the game tense as well as add to the story. The story was fun as well as interesting to learn because your ideas of the world change the farther you progress. The little details that were added (such as backstory of objects) just made it that much better!). I honestly enjoyed the game and can't wait for more! Good luck in the future!
I enjoyed the retro pixel art and, the deep story that you put into this game. It was interesting being the lone survivor trying to make it out from the zombie infestation. One problem I had was falling asleep before I was told to. I couldn't progress past that and, i'm not sure if this is a bug or, if I needed to back track and, go a different route.
The dark in the subway could deserve to be less dark; I was unable to see anything outside of the circle, and was convinced it was pure black until I watched someone else's playthrough. Even then, I still had to go into my graphic card's setting and raise the gamma in order to see anything and make it through.
Yeah sorry about that. The game definitely needs one of those 'adjust the slider until you can barely see the symbol' like you see in horror games. Thanks for playing.
I thought so as well, however if it weren't for that one infected that needs to be seen from afar, it would have been perfectly possible to finish the area this way and I wouldn't have noticed anything. At first I found this full blindness was actually a nice part of the experience !
I've fixed the game so that darkness is now brighter, would you be able to test this on your monitor? I've linked to a specific version so you won't have to start from the beginning.

Brilliant. Loved the art style and minimalism, nice sound design touches and the pitch black story was excellent. Good stuff!
Really enjoyed the bleak story in this one. Also really enjoyed the style and the music was really well chosen! Made a video, hope you enjoy!
Gave it a go...
Great job my dude <3
A very nice story based game, I really enjoyed the game thus far.
Keep up the good work
Loved it.
I really anjoyed this game =D
i recorded a gameplay (in romanian). I didn't played too much and i already think is a awesome game !I did not like the sad ending
I really enjoyed this game! The retro style Andy color tones set the vibe perfectly! Good stuff!
It has a charm to it.
in your next game when ever u start development, i would be happy to make sprites for the game unpaid :)
Also, (i forgot to mention.) the music greatly compliments the game play. It makes you feel isolated and tense yet it is peaceful.

Usually I can never finish these types of games but this was pretty neat! I love how you use the simplicity of the mechanics and level to the fullest.
I felt some of the animations and activation of items took longer than I had liked, leading to irritation.
Nevertheless bravo!
I really enjoyed playing this game a lot! It was really interesting and I had a lot of fun discovering the story and just exploring the game in general.

Hi DarealRebellion! Would you be willing to end your post if possible to remove the spoiler? :P
consider it done :)
Топ игра. Прошёл всю от начала, до конца

Well, it is a multi-ending game? I would like it to have a happier ending.
Thank you for playing. I originally considered a happier ending, but decided against it because I felt it might have ended a little anticlimactically.
Thank you for the kind words. I am only in the planning stage for my next game (which is also story-driven), I hope you enjoy it just as much as this one.
A Short, Harrowing, Hauntingly Beautiful Game
I played the first ten minutes ... it looks great. I look forward to playing it all. Keep up the good work.
The ending is very dissapointing ;-;
It was originally going to be a lot happier, but I changed my mind :p
;-;
Is the zombie ending the online ending? I'm intrigued.
Yeah, the zombie ending is the only one. I am only in the planning stage for my next game but having multiple endings is something that I'm definitely putting in. Can't guarantee they'll be happy ones though...
Oh, okay. I thought that perhaps if you didn't have low health at the end you might not die. (Maybe I missed some food? I looked pretty carefully.)
I spread out the food so that you only have 2/100 health when you get to the end (to increase the tension), so I'm sure you found all of them. Thank you for playing and rating the game.

it's like "The War of Mine" but in 8bit. Legit!
Really enjoy this game! It was amazing.
Love it man.. I passed the game.. very clever and unique style..
Hey! Played some of this on my channel, it's got some really great atmosphere!
THIS GAME IS OUTSTANDING! Really well made and a great 30-45 minute pixel/post apocalyptic game!

Yes, the darkness looks good here.
Thank you for checking. I hope not too many other people had the same issue.
