Dead Room

Dead Room is a cutesy-horror shooter with rogue-lite elements. Trapped in an old log cabin in the woods while escaping a horde of the undead, you must defend a single room from waves of monsters and try to rescue Sheldon, your trusty turtle companion. After Sheldon falls through an open floor hatch, an evil creature in the cellar holds him captive; you offer it the corpses of slain monsters to appease it and buy time until you are ready to face the beast.

Defend the cabin

You board up the windows with boards and fight the monsters with your shotgun. Decorations can be deconstructed into more boards, giving the monsters an obstacle to overcome before they enter the room.

Feed the creature

The creature in the cellar rewards you after receiving enough sacrifices, giving you either an item or a decoration. The 50 items you can unlock improve stats or alter a core mechanic in your favor, while the 10 decorations can be collected and deconstructed for boards.

Characters

The game has two playable characters.
