🛒 BUY • SELL • SCAVENGE
During the day, life in the neighborhood seems totally normal. Locals stop by your run-down pawn shop to haggle for junk, and trinkets. Some bring valuable tools, others try to rip you off. But every transaction might be your only defense when night falls...

NIGHT COMES FOR ALL
When the sun goes down, everything changes. A mysterious infection awakens the dead. Survive, and you’ll face a stronger wave the next night.

You're not a hero. You're not a soldier. You’re just the guy behind the counter.
But if you want to survive, you’ll have to fight — one night at a time.
