THE CITY IS DYING. SO ARE YOU.
The neon never sleeps. Neither do the ones hunting you. DEADLINE drops you into a pitch-black cyberpunk hellscape lit only by muzzle flashes, blood, and the cold glow of your flashlight. Every corner hides a killer. Every level pulls you deeper.
There is no rescue. There is only the next kill.

EVERY SHOT COUNTS
10+ weapons — fists, katanas, shotguns, magnums, miniguns, railguns
Throw your blade — turn any melee weapon into a lethal projectile
Dash through death — slip past bullets and reposition in a blink
Destructible walls — tear the arena apart with heavy firepower
BOSSES WANT YOU DEAD
Each boss brings its own deadly pattern — charges, bullet storms, teleports, freezing blasts, homing rounds and raining meteors. Learn them. Or die to them.

KILL. CHAIN. DOMINATE
The combo meter is your lifeline to the leaderboard. Keep the kills flowing and watch your score multiply. Break the chain — lose it all.
TWO WAYS TO BLEED
HARDCORE — One life. Ranked. From level one. No second chances.
PRACTICE — Checkpoints every 5 levels. Sharpen your skills off the record.
A WORLD DROWNED IN NEON
Dynamic lighting, screen-shaking impacts and a pulsing synth heartbeat. Every firefight looks and feels like chaos in motion.
WASD to move • Mouse to aim • One life to prove you're the last one standing.
HOW DEEP CAN YOU GO?
