Publisher Silver Lining Interactive and solo developer Nolyn Vansyckle have announced that Service With a Shotgun (SWAS) will open for business on November 6 for PC via Steam. Players can wishlist the game now and download a free demo to get an early taste of its wild mix of story-driven chaos and zombie-slaying action.
Retail, But Make It Apocalyptic
Service With a Shotgun blends visual novel storytelling with wave-based FPS gameplay, dropping players into the blood-splattered shoes of the last shopkeeper on Earth. The “Open” sign still flickers, customers are still complaining, and zombies are clawing at the door, just another day in customer service hell.
Shoot straight, talk fast, and try not to lose your mind as you juggle bizarre customer requests and hordes of undead shoppers. Each choice you make and bullet you fire brings you one step closer to surviving another shift in a world where capitalism refuses to die even when everyone else has.
Five Chapters of Total Mayhem
Across five story-driven chapters, SWAS introduces an unforgettable cast of characters, from unhinged regulars to desperate survivors. Players must build defenses, blast through waves of undead, and navigate absurd moral dilemmas that make the apocalypse feel like a bad day at work.
Expect rapid-fire dialogue, dark humor, and a surprising amount of heart amid the chaos.
