Buds and Brains are Everywhere in Zombuds

The apocalypse is here, and it’s time to cash in! Gamecraft Studios has announced Zombuds, an open-world co-op sim that lets players become entrepreneurial drug dealers in a world gone undead. Produce and distribute drugs and bizarre apocalyptic substances while building a thriving business that employs both human survivors and brainwashed zombies to keep your empire running smoothly. How you grow your operation, what products you sell, which locations you control, and how you manage your workforce, is entirely up to you.

Fifteen years after the collapse, most survivors live behind fortified walls. You don’t. In Zombuds, you scavenge abandoned locations and expand your production, using zombies as tireless workers to help run your operation. Survivors can manage production, deliveries, and logistics, giving you the freedom to scale your empire on your terms.

As your business grows, experiment with a wide variety of products, from everyday supplies, to eccentric, experimental substances unique to the apocalypse. Play solo or team up with up to three friends in online co-op to expand your empire together, maximizing efficiency and profits while shaping your own underground enterprise.

Key Features:

  • Explore & Loot: Scavenge a sprawling sandbox filled with zombies, survivors, and secrets, then claim locations and turn them into profitable operations.

  • Manufacture & Distribute: Produce drugs, meds, and bizarre apocalyptic substances, using any method to satisfy your ever-demanding customers.

  • Smash & Rampage: Take down the undead with an absurd arsenal while buying, selling, and trading everything from weapons to vehicles.

  • Automate & Expand: Hire desperate survivors or brainwash zombies into loyal workers as you scale your empire.

  • Crew Up & Dominate: Team up with friends in online co-op to build and expand your operation together.

Zombuds is currently in development for PC
