The Walking Trade, a store management game set in a zombie apocalypse, is now available on XBOX Series X|S. The game lets players stock shelves, set prices, and serve survivors, while also defending their shop from zombie raids. Players can design their store, choose what to charge, and craft items to aid in defense. The game also features a reputation system, where players can help the community or price gouge for profit.
The game's protagonist, Robin, has become a fan favorite, with players going out of their way to keep him alive in their playthroughs. The game's developer built The Walking Trade without ever playing a shop simulator, drawing inspiration from tycoon games and wanting to create a game with risk and danger. The game was released on PC 18 months ago and has now made its way to XBOX Series X|S.
