About the Game

Join retired salesman rabbit, Hank, and his canine pal, Larry, in part one of this story-driven game series as they use their knowledge of influence and persuasion to make their way through the apocalypse—without having to risk their own skin.

With a mixture of dark comedy and the use of real-life influence tactics, this story-driven game puts you behind the wheel of the characters’ choices. Can you convince a timid animal to enter dangerous looting locations? Will you risk your scavenger’s life for more resources?

Features:

  • Bargain to convince animals to scavenge for you and split the loot.

  • Guide your scavenger in high-risk situations.

  • Trade items to earn the highest value.

  • Gamble items, if you too like to live dangerously.

  • Learn a thing or two about influencing others.

  • Survive the zombie apocalypse without working too hard.
