Industry Implications
fans will be able to download a new eight-part story for the fitness app. That’s nothing short of a miracle. In 2012, Zombies, Run!
was one of the first fitness apps to find a dedicated community. A big part of that success was that it combined a couch-to-5K plan with immersive audio storytelling set in a zombie apocalypse. Six to Start — the company behind the game — was eventually sold to OliveX, a dubious purveyor of crypto and NFT products.
It then fell into the same trap that befalls many indie apps and games after acquisition. A little over a year ago, all but two Six to Start staffers had been laid off , and new episodes of the game were indefinitely put on hiatus. This is usually the point in the story where devastated fans try to mount a campaign to save the thing that brought them together — often with little hope or success.
This advance offers important signals about the future of the sector, and the tech world is watching closely.
