MAGES. announced a Steam version of ZOMBIE Disaster Prevention Training on July 27, 2026, opening a store page for the point-and-click adventure game. The game originally launched on Nintendo Switch on November 20, 2025. It teaches players how to survive a zombie apocalypse using everyday items such as brooms, trash cans, and wheelchairs instead of weapons.

Players participate in a training program at a disaster prevention center, clicking on locations and tools to choose escape or self-protection methods across 33 stages set in schools, hospitals, and shopping malls. The game emphasizes five principles: hide quietly, avoid fighting if possible, engage from a distance, observe carefully, and immobilize movement. Each item has multiple uses, encouraging repeated play to discover different coping strategies.

The Steam version's release date remains undecided. The Switch version is currently on sale until August 18 at 30% off, priced at 770 yen (tax included).

A new status effect called Fear will act as a debuff. A new map called the Biolab, described as the experimental facility that caused the apocalypse, will be added. A reworked Boss Rush mode, where players must build up their forces before a boss appears after 10 minutes, will also be included. The studio confirmed the game's price will remain at 1,700 yen and will not increase with the full release.
