Listen "S5 E193 Zombie Fest: They Were Once Here (Aug 2025)"
Episode Synopsis
This week's pick is the complete contrast to the Happy Wheels gag-fest, Ep 191: the film is called They Were Once Here by Werlias and it has everything you would expect from a Project Zomboid machinima, plus some things you wouldn't. Its a dark and sad tale, beautifully told, and delivers a real emotional punch. It makes excellent use of Zach Beever's classic composition for the game, and harnesses a bunch of mods to achieve the outcome. Catch our review and reflections on this one. For those of you into zombie fests, we're sure you'll enjoy it.1:00 Intro to film11:11 Background to film, early zombie stories17:57 Emotional responses to the film, the role of music20:00 What’s happened to Werlias?22:03 Alternative perspectives on the narrative25:25 How would Machinima [Inc] have reacted to this?
