Also I wonder how this game is going to work on PC, unless they have been looking at Alone in the Dark 1's control scheme of keyboard only or mabye they offer controller aswell.

The only thing that's keeping me from being truly excited is the mention of a "random map generator" in the description. I firmly believe that procedurally generated levels can never be as interesting as well designed and handcrafted ones. Hopefully they don't take it too far, but random generation always puts me off a little.
However, the ability to choose over the shoulder or fixed camera is a stroke of genius.

What I do hope is this game has Mod SKU so we can make our own horror levels.
And Also I hope there are other creatures instead of only Zombies.

So since you bumped this thing, I've looked at the project again, and will now pass judgment:
1. You know, at least Dino Crisis had dinosaurs so that it could pretend not to be a shameless ripoff. "No, see, dinosaurs instead of zombies! Totally different!" On a semi-related note, zombies are pretty played out by now.
2.
3.
4. Screenshots are murky
5. So is it a co-op game with awkward, badly-implemented single player, or a single-player game with awkward, badly-implemented co-op?

The health and inventory system in our game is reminiscent of old school survival horror games as well, but with a modern twist. The players are actually infected, so they need to constantly find suppressants/ first aid to constantly heal as they are racing against a clock,
Old-school, except not old-school at all. Also, this sounds truly obnoxious. 3.
DMG (Dynamic Map Generator)
Eww. I mean, I never approve of this, but in a horror game, where pacing, setting, and atmosphere are king? 4. Screenshots are murky

Oh, yeah, I was so caught up with the over the shoulder camera I forgot to mention the game itself. It looks... rather underpolished, the animations too stiff, the clothes too shiny, ect. Also the infection mechanic sounds pretty bad, especially if they go with an early RE style inventory system.

They basically took that from Resident Evil Outbrake and Outbreak virus meter rises very slowly so you have plenty of time.
And what do you mean by Screenshots are murky and single player co-op question?
I hope that when you open the invetory it pauses the game at last.
But yeah compare to REmake:

the graphics looks kinda inferior somewhat it's like they were using GMOD.
Hopefully this is only a beta of some sort and make it look better.

I feel like a fool that I did not notice that the game footage said it was still in development which is why the graphics look weak and animations look clunky, lets hope it looks as good as Resident Evil Remake and Alone in the Dark A New Nightmare :)

Camera angles look pretty bad and generally the game looks extremely rough around the edges. I'm not saying it won't wind up being good. But the question is "would I buy it", not "would I support its continued development".
To compete in the zombie game market you've got to be at your best. This isn't... yet.

Steam, or any other DD, should be a guarantee that you're buying a finished product. Not just supporting the continued development with the possibility of a final release. That's what Kickstarter is for.
