Service With a Shotgun

Step into the tattered shoes of the last poor soul running a roadside shop in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. The "Open" sign flickers, the shelves are half-empty, and lunatic customers line up as the undead wander past the window. It's retail… with more bite. Shoot straight, talk fast, and try not to lose your mind. Surely nothing can go wrong. Right? Between long shifts, desperate shoppers, and the occasional zombie snack attack, you're keeping the business alive – barely. SWAS combines visual novel storytelling with chaotic wave-based shooting to make every shift a rollercoaster of bullets, banter, and bizarre encounters.

From quirky regulars to last-minute emergencies, the rotating cast of characters keeps each chapter unpredictable. Build defenses, blast hordes of the undead, and navigate absurd scenarios that make even the apocalypse feel like a bad workday. Every chapter cranks up the madness with new characters, wild twists, and ever-escalating threats. One thing's for sure: the apocalypse doesn't wait, and neither do your customers.

  • Visual Novel X FPS: Blend storytelling with fast-paced action.
  • Five Story-Rich Chapters: Each shift escalates into total chaos.
  • Cast of Colorful Characters: Serve 10+ individuals with unique quirks.
