Dead End Job

Dead End Job is a procedurally generated twin-stick shooter about Hector Plasm, an employee of Ghoul-B-Gone, a paranormal pest-control company. You take on jobs in haunted offices, restaurants and other everyday buildings, using a plasma blaster, a vacuum pack and supernatural items to capture ghosts and rescue residents. Each ghost you catch and resident you save is added to the client's bill at the end of the job.

Hector's job

As Hector works toward a promotion, he is haunted by the ghost of his mentor, who lends a hand during jobs. You must learn the ropes and save her soul before she spends eternity as a spook. The story was written by IGF nominee Xalavier Nelson Jr.

Solo and co-op

You can play alone or team up with a buddy in drop-in/drop-out couch co-op, which fits into the main adventure. You can also stream with Twitch and Mixer integration, allowing viewers to help or hinder your ghost-catching efforts.

Ghosts and art

The game features cartoon artwork inspired by 1990s cartoons such as Ren & Stimpy, with exaggerated, gross-out designs that turn everyday items into screwball spooks. The adventure also features original music by Will Morton, whose credits include the Grand Theft Auto series.
