The night the Deadlock Protocol was triggered, Ravenwood became a cage. Now the small Appalachian town is overrun by horrors born from the Ashen Virus — twisted mutations of the people who once lived here. The city gates are sealed. No one gets in. No one gets out.
You are Jim, an ordinary man trapped in Ravenwood when the outbreak erupts. Armed with whatever you can scavenge, you’ll fight to survive the night — through blood-soaked motels, barricaded churches, abandoned police stations, and the hidden laboratories that birthed the nightmare.
Deadlock is a 2.5D top-down survival horror inspired by the classics but built for a modern audience:
Scavenge & Survive – manage scarce ammo, craft makeshift weapons, and decide when to fight or run.
Face the Infected – from shambling corpses to grotesque mutations like The Maw and Bone Spear Mutant, every encounter could be your last.
Explore Ravenwood – a seamless open-world map filled with motels, churches, police stations, mines, and secret labs. Every location hides supplies… or something far worse.
Uncover the Truth – piece together Project Ashen, a conspiracy that turned a town into ground zero.
The gates of Ravenwood are closed. Your only choice is to fight, adapt, and escape — before the city buries its secrets with you.
