Death Trash

Death Trash is an open-world, single-player role-playing game set on Nexus, a post-apocalyptic planet of ancient secrets, cosmic horrors and punks with shotguns. You play an outcast carrying a dangerous burden, travelling through deserts, ruins, underground areas and beyond. The game combines real-time combat and exploration with a story campaign, handcrafted levels and optional local co-op.

Story and world

Humans travelled to the stars, and some settled on Nexus. After its secrets of stone and flesh were unearthed, the civilized people fled into enclosed habitats. The wasteland is now ruled by outcasts, controlling machines and offspring of the worm. As you follow your path across the planet, you meet its characters, uncover side quests and can discover old temples in search of expanding your awareness.

Combat and exploration

You can use ranged and melee attacks, sneak, speak with characters through multiple-choice dialogue and manage an inventory of items and worms. A crafting system and skills such as pickpocketing and puking offer other ways to interact with the world. You can fight machines and larger-than-life monsters, or become their friend. Characters include the Fleshkraken and visitors to the Puke Bar.

You travel across the wasteland using a world map and explore hand-painted, organic locations. You customize your character through stats and in-game decisions, then experience the main story and optional side quests.

Player freedom

• Manual save games
• Leave dialogue at any time
• Kill everyone, or choose not to kill anyone

Local co-op

The main campaign is designed for one player, and local co-op covers the full campaign. A second player can join or leave at any time, using their own character, stats and inventory while sharing quest progress. Both players stay in the same location and travel together on the world map, but can perform actions, including dialogue, separately without interrupting each other. The game supports a shared screen by default or a permanent split-screen mode.
