How it feels

You manage supplies, fence repairs, and the needs of a mother and child while shooting endless zombies in a tense, top-down scramble to escape.

What players say

Players praise this as a tense, bite-sized roguelite where you manage a baby, resources, and zombie hordes as a single mother. It is short, around one to two hours, but they find it replayable through New Game Plus and difficulty modifiers. Reviews split on the difficulty: some find it too easy, others frantic.
