Deadline

Deadline is a pixelated survival horror game set across three levels: a Lab, a Carnival and a School. You scavenge consumables to extend your survival time, then try to last as long as possible and achieve a high score. Each choice affects your chances of escaping the encroaching darkness.

Search for supplies

Food, batteries and medical supplies are scattered through the levels. Finding items pushes back your Deadline, while hesitation can cost you. You can replay levels and memorise item placements to make each run last longer.

Three levels

The Lab has flickering lights, the Carnival contains warped attractions, and the School echoes with ghostly whispers. Each setting has its own atmosphere and challenges, with the dread increasing from one level to the next.

Pixel art and sound

Retro-inspired pixel art is paired with Unreal Engine lighting and effects. An original soundtrack, eerie ambient sounds and cues that react to your actions add to the tension.

Replay and high scores

A playthrough takes a couple of hours, with replayability for players pursuing higher scores or more complete runs. You can compete against yourself and friends to see who survives the longest.
