Service with a Shotgun
A one-person developer's clever mashup of visual novel dialogue and wave-survival shooting that somehow makes running a zombie apocalypse convenience store feel genuinely tense.
GamerScout Verdict
Perfect for players tired of bloated indie games - a tight, purposeful mashup that respects your time while delivering genuine tension.
Compare Prices(5 stores)
Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Service with a Shotgun
Service with a Shotgun strips away the bloat and commits to a single, weird idea: you're trapped behind a counter during the end of the world, talking to survivors while shooting things that want to eat you. The visual novel segments aren't just flavor - your dialogue choices actually shape which waves show up and how tough things get. It's a risk-reward rhythm game where conversation is as important as trigger discipline. The pixel art is warm and intentional, the pacing respects your time, and the whole thing runs at a brisk clip without overstaying its welcome. What makes this work is restraint. Nolyn Vansyckle clearly understood the core loop and didn't pad it with unnecessary systems. The 95% Steam reviews reflect that - people recognize hand-crafted indie work when they see it. This isn't a 40-hour grind. It's a complete, carefully designed experience that knows exactly what it wants to be and executes it.
