Indie developer Odius and publisher Loopr Partners have announced that ZOMBUTCHER: Monster Business Simulator will launch on Steam on June 11, 2026.
The release details surfaced today, giving players a fresh look at the dark-comedy simulation game ahead of its PC launch. The game will also arrive with a 30% launch discount for a limited time.
ZOMBUTCHER combines business management with stealth-focused gameplay, putting players in charge of a very unusual butcher shop in a rundown Louisiana town.
Run the Shop by Day, Hunt at Night
Players take on the role of a butcher who is killed after getting mixed up with the wrong people, only to return as a zombie with a struggling meat shop to run.
The game is built around a day-and-night cycle.
During the day, players manage the shop, serve monster customers, prepare products and spend their earnings on new equipment and upgrades.
At night, the focus shifts to the streets. Players will need to search for fresh supplies while avoiding police patrols and making sure they bring back enough stock to keep the business running.
That contrast between shop management during the day and stealth-based hunting at night is at the heart of the game.
Turn a Small Shop Into a Monster Marketplace
As the business grows, players will be able to unlock new recipes, improve equipment and make the shop more efficient.
The aim is to take a failing butcher shop and gradually turn it into a successful marketplace for monsters.
The products are just as unusual as the customers, with items such as fresh brains, bottled blood and other monster-friendly goods available to sell.
Different Ways to Approach the Game
ZOMBUTCHER gives players some freedom in how they want to play.
Those who enjoy management can focus on upgrades, resources and maximizing profits, while players who prefer a bit more action can spend more time dealing with the stealth-focused nighttime sections.
There is also a story running alongside the main gameplay, although the focus remains on managing the shop, gathering supplies and keeping the business alive.
The unusual mix of business management and nighttime stealth could help ZOMBUTCHER stand out from other simulation games.
