The Oculus Rift game *Modern Zombie Taxi Driver* has taken top spot at Bit Summit, the indie game festival in Kyoto. Yes, there is such a thing as Japanese independent games. Not much info is out there on this zombie-bussing game so far aside from [a hands-on impression](http://www.destructoid.com/the-modern-zombie-taxi-driver-uses-oculus-rift-to-chauffeur-the-undead-271600.phtml?ref=killscreen.com) by Destructoid, which says that its basically the Sega’s open-world racer *Crazy Taxi* with zombies in virtual reality. This admittedly sounds great because, I mean, it’s *Crazy Taxi* with zombies in virtual reality.

Over on [its developer’s Vitei site](http://modernzombietaxi.com/?ref=killscreen.com), there’s also this gallery of pictures of zombies riding uncomfortably in cars, which exudes a cheerfully awkward *Octodad* vibe. A little bit of gaming history: that company was founded by the guy who Nintendo brought over to help them with Mode 7 technology and create their earliest 3D games, like *Starfox*, so it’s in good hands. Let’s assume that it will be seeing a broader release since it has a professional site, and since it won a best indie game award.
