About The Walking Trade
The Walking Trade is a quirky, action-packed zombie apocalypse store management game where chaos and commerce collide! Design your shop, balancing space, aesthetics, and functionality. Organize shelves, set prices, and ensure customers leave happy - or at least alive. Customers aren’t your only problem - zombies invade! Wield melee weapons, firearms, or whatever you can find to defend your shop during raids and hordes. Hire survivors to scavenge supplies, serve customers, or guard the shop. Keep them equipped and motivated to reap the rewards. Unlock crafting stations to create weapons, tools, and shop upgrades. Build barricades, storage units, and even makeshift traps to keep zombies at bay. Be a benevolent shopkeeper or an opportunistic overlord. Help the community, price gouge, or even sabotage settlements for profit. Your reputation determines who comes knocking. In The Walking Trade , every decision shapes your survival. Build, fight, and thrive in the apocalypse—your way!
