About the Game

The Dead Town

You wake up in a junkyard in a town frozen in time. The only survivors are people with mechanical parts, each trying to stay alive. As you explore the destroyed buildings - school, hospital, church - you slowly uncover what happened to this place, and discover who you really are.

Your choices shape what happens next. Face your past.

Key Features:

  • Atmospheric Retro Horror: Experience a psychological horror adventure with haunting visuals and a compelling narrative

  • Meaningful Choices: Your actions and decisions shape the story, leading to multiple endings that reflect your journey

  • Environmental Storytelling: Piece together the town's dark history through notes, photographs, and scattered memories

  • Complex Puzzles: Challenge yourself with puzzles that blend seamlessly with the narrative

  • Rich Character Development: Interact with survivors in a dead town, each carrying their own secrets and mechanical modifications
