If twitch reflex, action/puzzle-platformers are your forte, you will love the light hearted humour, beautiful, hand drawn art style and annoyingly, addictive gameplay of Three Dead Zed.

I enjoyed the story on the whole, and had a good chuckle at the office warning posters and the very funny line delivery of the science lab PA announcer.
Graphics

8 of 78 sampled reviews raised it
I don’t know much about the difficulty in lighting games, but the shadows and lighting seemed to be really well done.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

5 of 78 sampled reviews raised it
The sound effects are well suited for the game and can be quite funny at times.
