Service With A Shotgun is a new pixel art title from developer Nolyn Vansyckle and publisher Silver Lining Interactive. The game has been described by the developer as “a mash-up of visual-novel storytelling and wave-shooter mayhem,” and this certainly looks very different. Service With A Shotgun is due to be released on Steam on November 6th, 2025, and currently has a demo for curious gamers to try.
Players will step into the tattered shoes of the last poor soul running a roadside shop in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. The “Open” sign flickers, the shelves are half-empty, and lunatic customers line up as the undead wander past the window. They’ll shoot straight, talk fast, and try not to lose their minds. Every chapter cranks up the madness with new characters, wild twists, and ever-escalating threats.
Between long shifts in Service With A Shotgun, desperate shoppers, and the occasional zombie snack attack, players are keeping the business alive. It combines visual novel storytelling with chaotic wave-based shooting that makes every shift a rollercoaster of bullets, banter, and bizarre encounters. From quirky regulars to last-minute emergencies, the rotating cast of characters keeps each chapter unpredictable. Players will build defenses, blast hordes of the undead, and navigate absurd scenarios that make even the apocalypse feel like a bad workday.
