DEDA

A small-scale horror escape game that breaks the usual genre mold. The player must escape from a house where a deranged grandfather has locked them in. But the real fear lies not in the jump scares, but in the oppressive reality of the house and its hidden corners.

About the Game

Deda is a familiar horror-escape genre experience — but this time, you'll face a real challenge. Three difficulty levels are available.

EACH DIFFICULTY HAS ITS OWN UNIQUE ATMOSPHERE

On a light level, the house only hints a little that something is wrong. In normal mode, the lighting changes, the walls begin to press down, and the shadows seem strange. At a high level, the house shows its true essence. The atmosphere becomes frightening and hostile, even the light from the lantern can become dangerous.

AN UNUSUAL MECHANIC

The player must use both hands to perform actions. Unlike monotonous tapping on objects, the player now has to look for new ways to interact between them. This makes the process of solving game problems more dynamic and similar to a stealth game.

WHAT IS THIS HOUSE HIDING?

The game's plot is not served directly. The history of the family, the nature of madness, and the mysteries of the house are revealed through the small, subtle details of the surroundings. Put the pieces together, communicate with each other, build theories.
