The Walking Trade Wiki — How to Heal Customers

There is no official The Walking Trade wiki, so a working reference page has to be assembled from the sources that do exist: the Steam store page, PCGamingWiki's stub entry, the Steam community guide library and review coverage. This The Walking Trade wiki gathers the documented facts in one place, from developer and price through to save file locations, settings and system requirements, and it is explicit about what remains undocumented.

What can be documented today

The primary reference is PCGamingWiki, which hosts a page for the game but flags it as a stub that "lacks content and/or basic article components." That page still carries the useful hard facts: developer, publisher, engine, release date, taxonomy and system requirements. The Steam store page supplies the price, the official premise text and the patch notes, and the Steam community hub supplies the guide library and discussion archive.

The player-written side is small but real. The Steam guide library listed 11 guides when it was captured, split across categories including Gameplay Basics with 5 guides, Walkthroughs with 5, and smaller sets for Secrets, Game Modes, Modding or Configuration, Story or Lore, Achievements, Characters, Classes, Loot and Trading. Two of those guides are achievement lists, one covers station upgrades, one covers winning raids, and one is a crafting speed guide.

Core systems reference

The table below is the compact version of everything the reference sources agree on. Where a value comes from a single source, treat it as reference-grade rather than gospel.

Field	Value
Developer	Microwave Games
Publisher	PlayWay S.A.
Engine	Unity
Release date	March 5, 2026
Platform	Windows
Price	$11.99, one-time purchase
Microtransactions	None
Modes	Singleplayer
Perspective	First-person, real-time, direct control
Genres	Business, Simulation
Art style	Cartoon, low-poly
Theme	Post-apocalyptic
Currency	Batteries
Achievements	45 total, 30 in the base game group
Nexus mods	30 mods, 1 collection
Steam guides	11

A few of those fields matter more than the rest when you are troubleshooting. The currency is batteries rather than money, so any guide that talks about cash is describing the same resource under a different name. The singleplayer classification means there is no co-op partner to cover your shop, and the Unity engine is why community mods can hook into an in-game mod menu framework at all.

Settings, saves and system requirements

The practical reference material is mostly about files and performance. PCGamingWiki lists the Windows save location as %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Microwave Games\The Walking Trade\Sync, with Steam Cloud support and around 95 MB of cloud space. Steam Play on Linux uses the Proton compatibility prefix under steamapps/compatdata/3398110/pfx/, which is the standard path for a Unity Windows build.

• Minimum: Windows 7, Core i3-2100 or FX-6300, 4 GB RAM, GTX 750 Ti or Radeon HD 7850, 4 GB storage.
• Recommended: Windows 10 or 11, Core i5-4460 or Ryzen 3 1200, 8 GB RAM, GTX 960 or Radeon R9 280, 4 GB storage.
• Interface languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Polish, Turkish, Traditional Chinese and Portuguese.
• Cloud saves: Steam Cloud with about 95 MB available.

On the customer question that sends many players looking for a wiki, the reference sources are consistent and unhelpful: there is no documented healing mechanic. The achievement list tracks saving a customer from an aggressive zombie, and the only mention of a medical ward is a May 2026 Steam forum suggestion asking the developers to "convert the medical ward to a real service of healing for clients." That is a request, not documentation (to confirm), so a wiki entry claiming a heal-customer feature would be inventing it. The game also keeps its community in an official Discord server and the Steam discussion boards, which held 282 recently active topics and 1,505 general discussion threads when captured.
