Why it matters

Zero To South puts resource management inside a car rather than a base, so every repair and upgrade competes with the fuel and food needed to keep moving south.

Players are a taxi driver crossing an America that collapsed under the Y2K problem, keeping a dilapidated car running with scavenged fuel, food, tools, and spare parts. The car can be upgraded with better performance and armor. Armed bandits block roads, and passengers can be delivered for supplies. The game costs 1,400 yen, with a 20 percent discount to 1,120 yen until November 21.

The taxi starts the journey in poor condition, and no help arrives if it breaks down or runs out of gas. Stops at buildings along the route supply the parts and tools for repairs, and the same items can go into upgrades such as performance improvements and added armor.

Bandit groups may block the road and wait to steal items and money, so breaking through is part of the route. Passengers picked up at various locations can be delivered to their destinations, with food and supplies given as thanks. The release discount runs until November 21.
