About the Game

STAY DEAD is a fast-paced action game set in the tropical undead island of Porto Morto, where you and your family, the Rottingtons, are living your best afterlife. NO jobs, NO taxes, NO pulse, NO problems!

That is until C.A.R.E. (Curing Authority of Renegade Entities) shows up to “fix” you, by force. Their Cure Bots are converting zombies back into humans in the name of public safety.

But you don’t need fixing. Being dead is the best thing that ever happened to you!

You’re not running from zombies - You are the zombie, fighting off C.A.R.E., a for-profit health tech giant determined to "FIX" you. Bash, bite, and brawl through their Cure Bots before they turn your perfect afterlife into a nine-to-five nightmare.

Rescue your undead family and swap between them in real-time, mixing and matching their abilities for maximum damage. Experiment with combos, wreck some Cure Bots, and remind the living why zombies do it better.

Porto Morto is your undead paradise, and it’s not going down without a fight. Scavenge parts, restore your town, and help your zombie neighbors reclaim their afterlife - one ridiculous restoration project at a time. But as you rebuild, you’ll uncover the real reason C.A.R.E. is so desperate to control zombie-kind… and it’s worse than just wiping you out.

At its core, STAY DEAD is a love letter to weirdos, a rebellion against the idea that “normal” is worth saving. In Porto Morto, death is just the beginning. And it rules!
