About the Game

Deadfuel is a solo top-down arcade roguelike where you fight off endless hordes of zombies.

STORY

You play as an old man living alone in a cabin lost in the middle of nowhere. You don’t know how much longer you can survive, until one night, you pick up a radio message from a military base 1,000 km away. They’re evacuating the last survivors to Iceland. It’s your last chance. You get into your old, gas-leaking car and hit the road.

GAMEPLAY

Your only hope of reaching the base is to stop every 50 km at the nearest building to scavenge for fuel. Each stop forces you to face waves of zombies while searching for crates. The crates contain random loot: weapons, consumables, tools, and sometimes the precious fuel you need to keep going.

As you progress through the 20 zones separating your cabin from the base, stops become deadlier but the rewards more valuable. Manage a limited inventory, watch your health and infection levels. Exploration is risky but essential for survival.
