About game
Trading in a radioactive wasteland is surprisingly profitable if you know how to manage your resources. Zone Idle: Trader's Bunker puts you in charge of a remote outpost where desperate scavengers come to trade their hard-earned goods. You handle everything from negotiating contracts to turning scrap metal into essential supplies for your patrons. Managing your inventory requires constant attention as you balance the needs of hungry stalkers against your own bunker upgrades. Tactical decisions regarding which squads to send into the fog determine your success or failure in the sector. Rare artefacts flow through your doors daily, bringing both wealth and dangerous attention from local factions. Expanding your influence turns a small, rusty hole into the most vital hub for every survivor in the area. Start your business in your browser today without any downloads required.
