What is Deadly Days?

In this single-player, pixel-art strategy roguelite, a new fast-food burger causes a zombie outbreak. On each run, you manage survivors, search buildings in procedurally generated cities for supplies, and use found weapons, items, and abilities to fight zombies. You can also expand your base.

For you if...

+you enjoy strategic survivor management under time pressure
+you like experimenting with random weapons and item combinations
+you want unlocks that expand your options across runs

Not for you if...

−you prefer predictable resources over uncertain food supplies
−you want long, unhurried missions with little time pressure
−you dislike repeating runs to unlock new options
