About the Game

Dead by Headshot is a first-person survival horror shooter with apocalyptic simulation elements, focused on precision aiming and brutal headshot mechanics.

⚠️ Warning: This video game may potentially trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy. Player discretion is advised.

Step into the shoes of a lone survivor trapped in a once-peaceful suburban home as civilization collapses outside. A global pandemic has unleashed hordes of ravenous, zombie-like creatures. In pitch-black darkness, illuminated only by your flickering flashlight, you must fight to survive until dawn.

Explore hand-crafted environments filled with oppressive tension and terrifying atmosphere. Every creaking floorboard, every shadow hides something that wants you dead.

Armed with nothing but a revolver, you must manage your ammunition with precision. Each passing hour brings greater danger: the infected become faster, more aggressive, and harder to kill.

Worse yet, they can only be stopped with perfect headshots – demanding ice-cold nerves, pinpoint accuracy, and smart resource management to survive the night.

Will you live to see the morning, or join the countless others consumed by the infection?
