Deadbeat

Deadbeat is a kinetic Soulslike set in the Hereafter, a surreal afterlife that some will do anything to escape. You play as Singer, a curious, hapless youth who puts on a Deadset—a pair of headphones said to transmit the voices of the dead—and hears a noise that will never stop.

Singer and Alto

Singer is bound by a contract with Alto, a smirking Demon with secrets of his own. With his voice stolen and strange powers at his fingertips, Singer is trapped in the Hereafter until he meets Alto’s demands and takes Alto’s rivals out of the picture.

Combat and powers

Combat is quick, responsive and stamina-based, calling for both quick thinking and patience. You can wield Constructs to gain an edge against foes, or use your Hellphone to call friendly Demons for help.

A progression system lets you empower Singer with demonic power. You can also explore the Hereafter and uncover secrets beneath its weary, sardonic surface.
