The man on 88.3 FM says the end is coming in thirty days. He doesn't say what kind. Zombies? A solar flare? Robots? A meteor? The moon, but bigger? Nobody knows, least of all him. You have a shovel, a backyard and a dog in a red bandana.

So you dig. Every day in Lake Orwell you get three actions. Scavenge the hardware store, the pharmacy and the church rummage sale. Carve a bunker out of the yard one room at a time. Talk your neighbors into moving in. Larry knows things. Mrs. Kowalski knows everything.

Money is worthless now. Pine Lake Light beer is not. Trade it, bribe with it, crack one when the night gets long.

Write every radio rumor in your notebook. Guess the apocalypse right and you'll be ready on Day 30. Guess wrong and you'll find out what a meteor thinks of your tinfoil closet. Then do it again: every finished run unlocks perks, rooms and people for the next one.

AI DISCLOSURE

This game was made with AI tools. The code, graphics, sound and text were generated with Grok Build and Grok Imagine, then designed, play-tested and tuned by me (BlueWater78).


Free to play right in your browser. If you enjoy it, a $2 tip helps a lot and tells me to keep building.

Want to make your own? Prepper was built with AI help in stages, and my guide covers its real build costs, the slider you could only grab in one corner, and the radio that repeated itself until we added shuffle bags. Plain English, written for non-coders.
