Propagation is a series of VR-based Survival Horror games made by indie French company WanadevStudio.Playable from a first-person perspective, the original Propagation is a wave-based shooter set after a Zombie Apocalypse of unknown origin (how original), you're single-handedly fending off the undead, as well as giant monsters inexplicably spawned by the same zombie virus, in a subway. Luckily, you're armed with your firearm of choice (shotgun, pistols, machine-guns) right from the start, with enough ammunition to last you for a day as you try surviving while waiting for a rescue team.A reasonably short game (it can be finished in 30 minutes max) that managed to put Wanadev on the map among horror-themed VR developers (it helps that the game is quite affordable - it's free), they managed to produce a sequel two years later.

Alice Allusion: The sequel revolves around Emily's efforts to locate her missing sister, Ashley, where she can collect toy rabbits as tokens to unlock bonuses and there's a pair of giant zombies called Tweedledee and Tweedledum.

Spider People: Propagation ends with you fighting a zombie-spider humanoid in the last phase. You managed to kill all the giant spiders, including the largest of the bunch which is supposedly the queen, but just then the queen's gigantic abdomen (taller than a human) splits open and something crawls out...

Scenery Gorn: Both games are loaded with plenty of onscreen gore, from rotting, decayed corpses in full display to ruined interiors of the subway and hotel, bloodstains on the walls and rubble everywhere. The zombie outbreak's aftermath isn't a pretty sight.

Facial Horror: Whoo boy. The last boss of Propagation is a human-spider hybrid whose face literally splits open, revealing a flesh-coated skull. That it bares in full glory while chasing after you! The Brute from Paradise Hotel can be damaged by shooting it's head, causing it's facial skin to peel off. It doesn't stop the monster from trying to chomp on Emily.

We Hardly Knew Ye: Paradise Hotel begins with two characters, hotel maid Emily (the PC) and policeman Owen, deciding to leave the hotel's kitchen in order to locate Emily's sister Ashley. Five minutes into gameplay, they're forced to pull a Let's Split Up, Gang!... and Emily finds Owen's body moments later with both his legs chewed off by the Brute.

Paradise Hotel have the abomination called The Brute, who chases Emily throughout the lobby, up the second and third floor, absorbing plenty of damage along the way including multiple shotgun blasts into it's ''skinless' face. Expectedly for a Marathon Boss, the whole battle can last for around ten minutes.

Excuse Plot: Propagation sees you killing zombies in a subway for 30 minutes, with occasional moments for pausing in-between, for no reason other than of course. Paradise Hotel averts the trope (well, mostly) with a plot revolving around the player character trying to retrieve her sister.

 Propagation (Video Game) / int_d028e0da
comment
An Arm and a Leg: Zombies in both games lose limbs when being shot in the arms, and there's even a "Severed Arms" bonus. Propagation: The spider-zombie boss lose an arm after being hit by a subway train. Somehow it's still alive after that. Paradise Hotel: After splitting up with Owen, Emily explores the basement area, realize something is hiding in the vents, and quickly rendezvous with Owen... only to find him dead, with both legs chewed off. It turns out it was the Brute who killed him off-camera. Legless zombies are a common sight throughout the game. Slicer, one of the undead monsters, doesn't have legs, instead using it's scythe-like arms for dragging itself all over the place.
