Farm by day, hold the fence when the horde comes at night, and bring a small town back one neighbor at a time. Town of the Undead is a zombie game you can play ten minutes at a time, with no ads and no in-app purchases.
What you do
Clear the junk, mend the picket fence, plant carrots, tomatoes and pumpkins, keep hens and Daisy the cow, raise brick walls, a watchtower, a greenhouse and a sawmill. Your house grows with you, up to a two-storey home with a living room.
When night falls on your phone's clock, the horde shambles up the street. Shovel, nail bat, chainsaw or shotgun; lamps, spike traps, a water cannon and a gun nest. Every third horde brings a boss, and some nights the moon turns red.
Two dozen survivors are trapped around town and down the road. Dig them out and they move in, each with missions, a perk and a story told one coffee at a time.
Fix up the old car and drive to seven places: the Route 9 Truck Stop, Oakdale and its hospital, Miller Farm, the Pine Hollow woods, Radio Tower Ridge, Hollow Creek and Sterling City with its mall, Guard camp and clown-infested fair.
The Daily Undead lands on your porch each morning. Mailbox, chores on the fridge, a streak, the WUND 101.3 radio, a Polaroid scrapbook, and Halloween on the street every October.
Craft weapons, gear and remedies in the Tool Room, dress your survivor, fill the zombie album, chase 200 achievements, play 30 levels of story and then New Game+.

Fair by design
You buy it once and you own all of it. No energy to buy, no crates for money, no timers you can skip with a card. Energy comes back from the food you grow and cook.
It plays fully offline and never asks for an account or your data. Your save stays on your phone; a save code moves it to a new one.
Ten minutes of calm, then a horde that's over in a minute or so. The sky follows your clock, and the farm keeps going while the game is closed.
