About
As if retail wasn't hell enough...
You're the last poor soul manning a beat-up roadside shop in the middle of the zombie apocalypse. The world's gone to hell, but somehow your "Open" sign still flickers. Between lunatic customers, long shifts, and the occasional undead trying to snag a snack, you're keeping the business alive - barely. Because even in the apocalypse, someone’s gotta work retail.

Part visual novel, part chaotic flash-game shooter, SWAS is a wild ride through survival customer service, and the weird bonds we forge in unexpected circumstances. Blast your way through zombie hordes, slap together last-minute defences, and deal with a rotating cast of desperate, and sometimes deranged regulars.

Every chapter in SWAS cranks up the chaos with wild twists, new characters, and new threats. What starts as a simple shift quickly spirals out of control. Shoot straight. Talk fast. Surely nothing can go wrong. Right?
Visual Novel X FPS - A unique blend of genres to combine story-telling with action!
5 Story-Rich Chapters - Each chapter in SWAS brings a new twist and challenge as the story unfolds.
Cast of Colourful Characters - Meet and serve 10+ individuals each with their own quirks and stories.

A decent game, i love the first chapter, the vibe is nice, the dialogue feel natural, the game play is decent, maybe add chapter 4 skill tree in and let me buy gun of chapter 3 and i think it will be a pretty solid. The rest, not so much, It's not terrible, just not very interesting, i would like it more it the whole game is like the first chapter, more time to flesh out the character, to mess around with the build mode. Still, for the price this is a good game, worth the money .
The dialogs are mostly corny and the narrative plottwist is predictable. But the gameplay is entertaining and trough the different chapters it only gets better. But the gameplay plottwists suprised me time and time again. All that to such an amount that i allmost forgot about one [u] annoying character [/u] who made me think about quitting the game. In conclusion, gameplay good, visual novel aspect... meh, graphic pretty decent and fitting for what the game is trying to be and music is goat
it was short experience and not really what i was expecting but it was well worth the price of admission 10/10 would serve again
Got it for $5 and it was short but also had more in it than I expected. Achievements are pretty easy to 100%, just keep in mind that if you restart a chapter it also deletes progress you may have made into future chapters. (if you have completed 4 chapters and restart chapter 2, chapters 3 and 4 will be gone) There's also a difficulty slider for another replay if you found it too easy.
I don't usually leave serious reviews but wow this game was so good and touching, sure It wasn't super action packed the whole time (i'm ngl I played on the visual novel setting ok..) but the story was really really cool. I'm obsessed with apocalypse stories and I can say this game had a really good mix of different action, character interaction, and progression, plus the loading screens are surprisingly philosophical. I definitely recommend this game if you like story focused gameplay.
Nice game, with a good premise of managing your focus on two things at once with memory, tries out new ideas each chapter and I think it works. Writing only left me slightly confused at one person's actions once which is impressive for these dialogue heavy games. The game is super simple though if your expecting complex mechanics
A good zombie game, not the usual FPS where you must survive and shoot everything. A cool story and gameplay. Good job developers.
The idea sounded fun the overall gameplay lacked not the graphics just the flow of gameplay I may come back to this in the future but probably not
It's a great game. Short and sweet. Don't take things seriously and get in looking for a fun time, you'll find one.
Cool game, would love to see the gameplay expanded in a sequel
