A pixel-art idle zombie RPG that lives in a slim strip above your taskbar. Your survivors fight the horde while you work: loot scrap, forge gear, unlock skills, prestige and push through 4 difficulties. Minimize the apocalypse - or go fullscreen when the boss arrives.
THE APOCALYPSE FITS IN A STRIP ABOVE YOUR TASKBAR
