Deadpact
Sentenced to death, you're sent into the dark for one last chance at freedom. The things hunting you are not mindless monsters. Each one hunts you, learns your every move, and never forgets. Outsmart them, or die. Every choice you make changes how your story ends.

18 itemsAbout the Game
The game is a single-player, story-driven survival horror puzzle game. It combines survival horror with puzzle-solving and exploration. You progress through a narrative while solving interconnected puzzles and dealing with survival mechanics like injuries, infection, hunger, fatigue, and sleep. Each enemy has unique, custom AI behavior. Some track you by sound, while others can make you harm yourself just by looking at them, requiring different strategies to survive. There is also a safe hub area (a tavern) that serves as a narrative resting point where you prepare, recover, and save your progress.
Between Descents, the Tavern
A candlelit tavern is your only place to breathe and prepare: buy strange brews that sharpen your senses, trade for clues, and report to the man who sent you down. Tell him the truth… or don't. Every choice is remembered, and yours decide how this ends.
Every Horror Has Its Own Rule
No two horrors here hunt the same way and none of them can be fought. Each obeys its own merciless logic, and the only way to live is to read it before it kills you.
Your Choices Decide the End
What you surrender, what you keep, and who you choose to trust all steer your fate. Nothing is forgotten and more than one ending waits for you in the dark.
Severed, Poisoned, Left to Rot
Your body is fragile, and the damage sticks. Limbs get torn away, wounds fester and turn septic, and poison creeps through your veins — and every affliction you carry will kill you if you ignore it.
