About the Game

The Death Archive is a co-op horror experience where you and your team are sent across fractured points in time to recover hidden case files and uncover the truth behind unexplained events.

Each mission takes place in a different era, from abandoned facilities to forgotten locations lost in time. Every map introduces unique mechanics, environmental hazards, and unpredictable threats that force players to adapt, communicate, and survive together.

Working as a team is essential. Players must explore, gather clues, solve environmental puzzles, and complete objectives while avoiding or outsmarting hostile entities. Sound, movement, and decision-making all matter—one mistake can put the entire team at risk.

As you progress, you will uncover pieces of a larger mystery connecting every case. The deeper you go, the more dangerous and distorted each timeline becomes.

Key Features:

  • Online co-op gameplay focused on teamwork and communication

  • Multiple maps set across different time periods, each with unique challenges

  • Dynamic horror elements that create unpredictable encounters

  • Increasing difficulty and tension as missions progress

  • Replayable experiences with varied outcomes and strategies

With a strong emphasis on atmosphere, tension, and cooperation, The Death Archive delivers a terrifying experience where survival depends on trust, coordination, and your ability to stay calm under pressure.
