The Trader

The Trader is a post-apocalyptic trading simulator. It's the end of the world, zombies are everywhere, and the player is running a shop. When staying in the store, the player can get customers, who are willing to buy and sell items they have or need. The player can also venture into the wasteland. A town will be randomly generated with items inside some of the buildings. These items are free, but there are zombies to deal with instead. Items are sometimes guns and ammo, but are more likely to be prosaic items such as wood, nails, or food.

By combat, looting, or trading, the player will earn experience, which can be used to learn skills such as increased carry weight or kicking. The player also has the ability to upgrade their shop by building items. These could be defenses against the zombies, a bed, or increased storage space. These require resources to construct. Finally, the player can hire employees to scour the wasteland for items, sell items, or defend the store.
