How it feels

A frantic, darkly humorous blend of store management and zombie survival where you juggle customer satisfaction with life-or-death chaos.

What players say

Players enjoy the addicting shop-and-scavenge loop at first but find it repetitive after a few hours, with too many raids and no story to carry the endgame. Physics bugs are common, loot flies around and employees get stuck, and the action stays confined to one location throughout.
