About They Don't Sleep

Escape the zombie apocalypse! They Don't Sleep is a fast-paced, bite-sized zombie survival life sim with easy-to-grasp gameplay and no lengthy tutorials. Get right into the action and start shooting zombies, managing your supplies, and juggling the needs of Kaya and her child, all while trying to fix her truck and escape.
The zombies never stop coming, but you have the ammunition to stop them--as long as you keep it stocked! Keep them from breaking through your fences and fix them up when they get damaged. But don't forget to take care of your baby and your own needs. Stress and hunger can be just as deadly as the ravening horde... to you or your child.
Upgrade seven different skills as you gain experience and level up. Every level you gain persists from run to run, so with each attempt to escape, your odds will improve as you shoot more accurately, run faster, and take better care of the baby.
Like the great games of old, They Don't Sleep doesn't hold your hand, but it doesn't hide information either. Want to know your chance to hit at 20 meters? How many seconds it takes to repair your truck? How many bowls of stew you can cook in each pot? You got it.
A labor of love by one solo developer, They Don't Sleep features all-original, hand-crafted pixel art, an emotional character-driven story told in bite-sized chunks, and tight, focused zombie survival gameplay. It's a small game because it's made by one person, but it packs a punch.

My mission as a developer is to make small, engaging, meaningful games that you can jump right in and have a great time with and put back down when they're done.

Honestly, at a first glance I would never thought I'll enjoy a game like this. I'm not a huge zombie person or into roguelite games, but jeez this game was really a hidden gem. The gameplay loop is insanely fun, love the art style, and all the mechanics felt nice. I would honestly have spent a lot more on this game if it costed more just for the gameplay loop alone. 10/10 - Definitely an unexpected, lovely short game.

I don't know how I didn't find this game until now! For a zombie game enthusiast, this is a little diamond of a game. Even though I've done (almost) all achievements, I find myself going back and playing more. It does exactly what it came in to do, and doesn't overstay it's welcome by being too long. Consider me addicted. Edit to add: I just went and looked, and this is the only game this dev/studio has done! I'm proud to have gotten here before the inevitable popularity with (hopefully) more games to come :)

Short zombie game with a great atmosphere and simple yet interesting story line. The gameplay is also very well thought out, as it revolves around balancing yourself and making sure you don't forget about certain tasks. It's a niche game, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was sad about beating the game honestly, it left me wishing for more. There are modifiers that you can adjust to make the game harder, but that didn't really satisfy me. For $3 though, the game is definitely worth it. 9/10 game overall, and it would have been 10/10 if there was more content or something to look forward to regarding updates.

Found this game today it was really great! Definitely worth the price and then some. I really wonder how the developer is doing or if there working on another game? If you see this I'd love to hear from you! Would definitely recommend good game.

Fun little game that will stress you out but you'll end up playing it over and over again.
Recommended Jun 4, 2026
Good game with great gameplay loop, decent story but overall is a great short game that can be played for longer periods. The roguelike feature allows the game to have many different builds and even has a newgame+, I would recommend this game to anyone that loves tower defense and zombie survival games, give it a try, it's only $2!
