Good game, DO NOT BUY ON STEAM. You can get this, more updated and more supported, for free off the official website/discord. This is a free game which has been repackaged, not by the original developers, and charged for. Just get it from the official channels.

This game is amazing and free. You can download it from github and its page. Just google it. What we have here is the same game but with achievements and without any updates. 0.I came out more than a month ago - still is not available here despite the fact that its a stable version. Shame. upd: the dev have finally woken up from slumber and actually updated the game

pretty good game ngl. i have over 5000 hours on another device and maybe that makes me a loser, but i bet you don't have an impenetrable fortress and a do it yourself tank. who's the loser now? this game has a pretty big learning curve when you're first learning the controls on your keyboard. but if you look at the key bindings again and again it gets pretty easy. I'm also a big fan of the character customization. in my opinion that's what makes the game so fun. each save could be vastly different depending on what you choose. very fun in depth game, worth the cash.

I was Mr. Farts the lumberjack, and I was a paragon of the community. I cleared out a town of zombies just to find an inhaler for the local fat kid. I ripped the Quran from cold, undead hands so that the terrified Middle-Eastern tourists could find peace in the apocalypse. I burned down the house filled with dogs. But one day, a man I had never seen before needed a job done. A local group of bandits (two bandits) was terrorizing the community, and he needed Mr. Fart's specific brand of vigilante justice. They lived in a secluded woodland cabin. The perfect place for villainy. All the doors were locked up tight, but I couldn't risk using my trusty ax. The poor girl needed repairs. Luckily, these bandits just so happened to have a Mad-Max truck in their parking lot. I dove from the truck as it tore through their log cabin walls. Silence. Nothing moved inside. Had they been runover? Perhaps they ran away in fear. I peaked my head in through the smoking hole the truck had made. "I'LL KILL YA SUMBITCH" An elderly couple, both wielding shotguns, proceeded to blow my legs off before mercy killing me. Such was the story of Mr. Farts, Lumberjack
