About This Game

THE LAST COLD BEER BEFORE THE END OF THE WORLD

The dead are walking, the grid is down, and somehow your tavern is still open. Survivors ride in off the highway looking for a drink, a seat, and a few hours of feeling human. Your job is to give them that, and to keep them alive when the horde comes knocking.

SERVE. EARN. SURVIVE.

Every night has two halves.

• Service: Pull pints at the taps, shake cocktails, and carry up to three drinks on your tray while the orders pile up. Chat with your customers, learn what they're after, and keep them happy. Get it fast and get it right, and the tips roll in. Pour the wrong drink and it comes out of your pocket.

• The Horde: When the warning sounds, put down the tray and pick up a weapon. Zombies rip at the window boards and hammer on the doors from every side. Patch the barricades, cover the breaches, and defend the bar and everyone drinking at it.

Make it to the all clear, count your tips, and get ready for a worse night.

REGULARS WORTH FIGHTING FOR

A dozen handcrafted survivors drift through your doors. There's a road-worn biker who rode in ahead of the first wave, a nun with a revolver tucked in her habit, a riot cop who never took the armour off, and a drifter who says he walked across three dead states. More turn up the longer you last.

Each one has their own personality, thirst, and weapon of choice. When the horde hits, they fight alongside you. Keep them happy and they'll be back tomorrow night. Let them down and they'll storm out, or they won't make it to morning. You can even hand your regulars better weapons to help them survive.

BUILD THE LAST BAR STANDING

Put your tips back into the tavern. Open up the Patio, Garage, Back Storage, and Rooftop, and clear the stairs to the Upstairs VIP Lounge, where the seats pay double tips. Every new room brings in more customers, and gives the dead more ways in.

Down in the basement, the generator keeps the neon, the house lights, and the jukebox running. Keep it fed with gasoline, or the party goes dark.

ARM YOURSELF

Start with whatever's lying around: a wooden plank, a baseball bat, a machete, a fire axe. Then work your way up to pistols, revolvers, SMGs, pump shotguns, hunting rifles, and assault rifles. Buy guns off the wall racks or from merchant customers, try your luck at the Lost & Found crate, and upgrade your favourites at the garage workbench.

Grab power-ups during the fight to turn things around:

• Happy Hour: Double tips for a while

• Closing Time: Wipe out the current horde

• Fresh Crate: Refill ammo for the whole team

• Handyman: Rebuild every barricade

• Round on the House: Every customer gets served at once

ENDLESS NIGHTS

Each night brings a bigger, faster, tougher horde. Every fifth night is Crawler Night, when fast crawlers hit every entrance at once. Every tenth night, The Bouncer shows up: a heavyweight boss who's coming for your barricades. How long can you keep the lights on?

BETTER WITH FRIENDS

Run the bar solo, or team up with up to three friends in online co-op. Host a private tavern, invite friends through Steam, or join a public one. Revive downed teammates, coordinate with quick team callouts, and keep going even if the host drops out. The night carries on.
