ABOUT THE GAME



The game is set in the "Wasteland", and is the bi-product of a long lasting war. Your main goal is to keep your shop running by trading with wanderers, whilst keeping the "Wastelanders" and raiders at bay.

This will allow you to build defences, upgrade your storage in the store, and just generally make your store your own.As the player you can choose how you wish to play the game. For...
