Stocking shelves while the dead shuffle past
You lay out the shop yourself, placing shelves, balancing space and looks, then deciding what goes where and what it costs. Batteries move fast, apparently. Survivors wander in to buy, and your job is the familiar till-side loop of keeping goods available and customers satisfied. Hire staff to serve at the counter or scavenge for supplies, and keep them fed, armed and motivated if you want the till to keep ringing.
Nights when commerce meets combat
Zombies invade, so the mop gets swapped for melee weapons and firearms when a raid hits. You fight them off yourself or post hired guards around the store, backed by barricades, storage and makeshift traps you build at crafting stations. Those same stations turn out weapons, tools and shop upgrades. How ruthless you are matters too: help settlements, gouge prices or sabotage rivals, and your reputation decides who shows up next.
What else should sim fans know?
Do you run the shop day to day?
Yes. You arrange shelves, set prices, keep stock on hand and serve survivors, then put earnings toward crafting stations, storage and defenses. Staff take on serving, scavenging or guard duty once you can afford to hire them.
How does the zombie part work?
Raids and hordes attack the store, and you push them back with melee weapons, firearms or whatever is handy. Barricades and traps slow them down, and guards help if you have equipped them well.
Can you play it as a good shopkeeper?
That choice is yours. You can help the community and earn goodwill, or squeeze every coin with high prices and dirty tricks against other settlements. Your reputation shapes who visits, so greed has consequences.
