Dead End Streets

Dead End Streets is a first-person investigative psychological horror game presented as an anthology of criminal and supernatural cases from the 1990s. You investigate each case through exploration, clues and puzzles, while trying to survive hostile presences in oppressive environments.

Investigation and survival

There are no on-screen objective markers, cell phones or digital maps. You navigate with paper maps, compasses and handwritten notes, relying on logic to make progress. You examine 3D objects, open drawers, change your flashlight batteries and listen to audio tapes as you solve mechanical puzzles. In claustrophobic areas, you can use ambient sound to avoid hostile presences.

Chapter 1

In Home Alone – The Invasion, you play investigator Arthur, investigating the disappearance of a woman 30 years ago. The case takes place in a 1990s abandoned industrial complex and rural facilities. You follow clues on cassette tapes, inspect confidential documents and try to survive a containment lockdown at a silent corporate facility. The chapter lasts about 2 hours.

Further cases

The game’s independent chapters are released as expansions, each with a complete story. You can play them at your own pace, with progress and achievements kept in one application.

The Drenmor Incident is estimated to last 6 hours and explores the corporation’s origins and the collapse of the city of Drenmor. Building on events uncovered in the first case, it adds survival mechanics, an expansive map and revelations about the experiments connecting the Dead End Streets.

The Final Discovery is estimated to last 15 hours.
