What Wasted is

Wasted is an indie game developed by Mr. Podunkian and released in 2016. It was published by Adult Swim Games. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only. It runs on Unity.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Kill, drink, and kill some more in Wasted, a roguelike post-apocalyptic pub crawler set in a lawless wasteland that lives and dies by the rules "Get wasted, or get wasted trying." When a thermonuclear blitzkrieg bereaves America of its greatest minds, the very hardiest specimens of humanity cling on to life. From the ashes of old America, a new world emerges, and an ersatz, post-apocalyptic, stillborn 80's continues indefinitely, populated entirely by the toughest, meanest, and outright dumbest of God's creations, the Wasters.
