5 itemsAbout the Game
Lead Coffin is a short psychological horror game.
Left all alone on a desolate WW1 battlefield where something in the mustard-gas fog has wiped out everyone on both sides, it’s up to you to face the monster and escape. Take control of a damaged tank, get it moving, and maintain its many systems to make it out alive.
SURVIVAL ON TREADS
WW1 tanks were horrific for those outside and in. Claustrophobic, ear-piercingly loud, choking with gas, prone to damage, and riddled with gunfire and shelling. Trapped inside, you must learn to pilot the controls, maintain its fuel and electricity, repair damages, and navigate with only a hand-drawn map to guide you.
MONSTER IN THE MUSTARD GAS
Something has killed everyone on both sides of the battle, and you’re the only survivor. It stalks you through the fog, attacking the tank if you let your guard down, and thwarting your escape. You must keep moving and use lights, sounds, and fire to keep it at bay, or it will find a way in.
HORRORS OF THE GREAT WAR
Shell-shocked and choked with gas, you can’t trust your own eyes. Everything you see could be the monster, terrors of the war, or a result of your traumatised mind. And that’s before those same horrors start to make their way inside the tank with you…
