Ray’s the Dead is a new story driven action-puzzler, where players will take on the role of Ray and his army of zombies. The game will feature “a satisfying blend of action, tactics, puzzle, stealth, and adventure.” Having garnered a great reception at PAX East and in development by Chicago based Ragtag Studio, Ray’s the Dead will be releasing on PC, Mac and Linux “at the end of 2013.”
Comprised of former Stubbs the Zombie developers, Ragtag Studio is inspired by both Stubbs and Pikmin: “It has been said that Stubbs the Zombie could be Ray’s dirty old uncle,” and that Ray can control his horde similar to “how Olimar controls his army of Pikmin.”

Tasked with performing open heart surgery using any tools available, players must complete the operation in the quickest time with the least amount of blood loss possible.
The game gives the player control of each of the surgeon’s fingers with what appears to be almost rag-doll like mechanics–and it’s hilarious to watch. The game apparently features a “revolutionary one-to-one finger manipulation control system” and “realistic surgical tool physics.”
