Put simply, The Zebra-Man! is probably best described using words I dare not use in what’s supposed to be a semi-serious review. It is distilled madness in game form. If I tried to describe it as part-Hotline Miami, part something else there’d likely be a whole list of potential parts I could use. It starts off as a straight Hotline Miami clone, but it also takes inspiration from lowbudget pulp slasher movies, then it starts becoming more story-driven, then it starts breaking the fourth wall, then there’s memes, then it’s being self-referential… Suffice it to say, I will remember this game, not for being particularly good or even particularly bad, but just for being… completely inexplicable.
