About the Game

Consciousness... Where? Unknown. Who are all these dudes in robes? Only one way forward: through the door.



Welcome to the afterlife’s strangest waiting room, where each run reshapes the world, the dangers, and your very questionable chances of survival.

Every step pushes you closer to the truth of why you are here, and what this place wants from you.

You Are Dead is a roguelite twin-stick shooter with a relaxed pace, retro feel, and a fondness for the odd and curious. Combat is fast when it needs to be, but with as much emphasis on atmosphere and personality.

Meet creatures that range from charming to deeply irritating. Find weapons infused with questionable magic. Gather strange effects that can help, hurt, or quietly complicate everything. Die and die again.

Features

• A strange, cozy afterlife full of weird characters

• Weapons that evolve from useful to slightly unhinged

• Persistent unlocks that reshape future attempts

• Retro visuals, chill music, and intentional pacing

• Controller or mouse and keyboard support

• Encounters designed to be learned, not rushed

• Creative problem solving (cheese encouraged)

You Are Dead keeps growing with new features and content. Step through the door again and see what the afterlife serves you next.
