D3AD HAND now includes R3D STAR - a full new bonus and more challenging adventure featuring hours of new content!
Crack the code, feed the cat, save the world.
D3AD HAND is a darkly comedic point-and-click adventure set in a crumbling Cold War missile base deep in Siberia. You are Yuri Spraytyvich, freshly appointed Junior Strategic Missile Force Manager, tasked with holding together the decaying Čerëmuški Command Post.
But when PERIMETER-the Soviet automatic defense system-mistakenly initiates a nuclear launch, it’s up to Yuri (and your wits) to stop the end of the world. Navigate sabotage, radiation, worker strikes, and absurd bureaucracy in a race against doomsday.
R3D STAR: Uncover the fate of Sputnik and thwart the devious plans of Major Perestrova in your continued quest to prevent global annihilation.
◉ Unique alternative history setting and pixel art style.
◉ Tongue-in-cheek humour.
◉ Elegant point 'n' click control of character.
◉ Ideal for newcomers to the genre, familiar and nostalgic for veterans.
◉ Multiple different endings to discover.
◉ Play as Stalin (the cat) in R3D STAR to help Yuri using your feline skills!
