[h2]What is Dead Engine?[/h2]

Dead Engine was born out of a shared passion between a small group of friends indie developers dedicated to crafting a unique survival experience. Set in a hand-crafted post-apocalyptic pixel art city crawling with intelligent zombies, this action roguelike challenges you to fight, trade, and survive in fast-paced 20–30 minute runs where every decision shapes your fate.



What Awaits You in the Ruins?


[h2]A Living, Breathing Post-Apocalyptic City 🏙️[/h2]

Step into a world painstakingly crafted pixel by pixel, where every street corner, alleyway, and rooftop tells a story. This city is more than just a backdrop it’s a puzzle, a battlefield, and your sanctuary all in one. Lay traps, set turrets, and use the environment to your advantage as you carve your path to survival.

Survival isn’t just about brute force it’s about preparation. Collect, combine, and upgrade your equipment with care. Expand your backpack to carry more, and equip special bags like Military or Medic packs to gain an edge. Every item counts in this unforgiving world.



[h2]Discover Stories & Play Unique Survivors 👥[/h2]

Across the city, you’ll encounter other survivors each with their own tales, strengths, and secrets. Befriend them, unlock their abilities, and switch perspectives to experience fresh strategies and stories within this haunting world.



[h2]Face the Hunt: Zombies with a Mind of Their Own 🧟‍♂️ [/h2]

Forget mindless shufflers here, the undead think, plan, and hunt in packs. Their advanced AI learns your tactics, making every encounter a tense, thrilling test of wits and reflexes. Will you lead them into traps, sneak past unnoticed, or stand your ground and fight?
