What is Deadlight?
Set in a ruined Seattle after a catastrophe in the 1980s, this single-player 2.5D platformer follows Randall Wayne as he searches for his family. You run, jump, and climb through side-scrolling environments, often avoiding zombies rather than fighting them with scarce ammunition.
For you if...
- +you like bleak, side-scrolling worlds and environmental puzzles
- +you prefer avoiding zombies to shooting your way through
Not for you if...
- −you want combat to be the main focus
- −you dislike timed platforming and repeated attempts
