Talking Zombatar

Talking Zombatar was a canceled virtual pet game. The game was announced on July 26, 2012, and was planned to be released in late 2012.[1][2] The player could dress up their zombie, train them to dance, shoot videos with them, earn daily rewards, and even take pictures with them. They were also going to repeat everything the player said.[3] Although the game was announced by PopCap, it was never released to the public as planned. However, there was a trailer released for the game.[4]
