Holdfast — Zombie Base Survival

Holdfast is a turn-based survival game about a small walled base after the zombies won. One turn is one day: give every survivor a job — scavenge, build, guard, tend the infirmary, rest — then end the day and watch it resolve. Runs come home at dusk, at the gate, in front of you; the count is the tensest beat in the game. Deaths are reported, never shown.

Noise is the whole clock. Sending squads out makes noise; laying low walks it back down. Fill the meter and a zombie horde masses at the treeline — but it attacks TOMORROW night, never tonight, so every horde is one your plans earned and one you get a full day to prepare for. A nightfall forecast tells you exactly what your committed plan will cost before you commit it. The game never lies to you: odds shown before a run are the odds rolled, the infirmary counter says who heals tonight and who only holds, and nothing whatsoever happens while the app is closed.
