Dead Stop - The Tenant

A new apartment. One tenant who thought his luck had finally changed. One thing certain: some places never let you settle in. A short retro horror about dark secrets and a home that was never meant to be yours.

About the Game

Dead Stop is an anthology of short horror games - an episodic experience inspired by classic horror stories.

The Tenant is second episode.

Jonathan had spent months chasing listings that vanished overnight, landlords who never called back, and rents that seemed designed to keep people like him out.

Then, at last, he found it: a modest apartment in an old building, cheap enough to afford and decent enough to call home.

For the first time in years, Jonathan felt like life was finally giving him a break. He had a set of keys in his pocket, a roof over his head, and the chance to start over.

But some places are cheap for a reason.

And life had other plans for its newest tenant...

One apartment. One landlord. Something already inside.

  • Environmental puzzles built around domestic routines and a disturbing rental history

  • A story told through messages, objects, tapes, and things that should not be there

  • Slow-burn apartment horror with surreal reality shifts

  • Short and complete. No filler, no padding
