The premise, in the publisher's words

From the mind of Sinyster Soulutions Studios comes a brutal, wave-based zombie survival experience that bleeds directly into the universe of their hit show, CRITICAL FAILURE. You aren't just playing a game; you are surviving the aftermath. As the show's narrative twists, mutates, and fractures, the game evolves in real time. Every lore drop, every catastrophic broadcast event, and every "critical failure" on screen rewrites the rules of your survival. 4-PLAYER wave based zombie survival that evolves with the shows episodic content release.
