desperate, narrative-driven, escalating tension, solo-focused, tower defense

About this game

Farmingdale is under siege. A zombie virus is spreading, and you must coordinate the town's defense across multiple approach tracks while managing civilians, heroes, and dwindling supplies. Each round, event cards escalate the crisis unpredictably: new zombie hordes appear, supply lines get cut, or a hero falls. The card-driven AI controls the undead with enough variety to keep every game tense. Three difficulty levels and campaign mode scale from accessible to brutally hard. A solo/co-op tower defense with genuine narrative drama.
