About This Game

You are in the backseat of your parent's car during a long drive. As your parents begin fighting, your hand-held game is your only source of entertainment. But the game begins to mirror real life... Collect items on your hand-held game to send them to your world, and use them to defend against the monstrosity that's trying to make its way in.

The Deadseat includes a terrifying, short Main Campaign, and a Hard Mode which continues the story at a horrifying level of difficulty.

Survive The Night Drive

Your drive home from grandma's is interrupted by an unexpected detour. Play a hand-held game in the backseat as your parent's drive.

Retro Gaming

Your hand-held game is beginning to mirror reality... Supplies you collect in the game will be sent to the backseat.

Trapped in the Deadseat

A deadly monstrosity wants to join you in the backseat. Juggle your supplies and defend all sides. In this car, there’s only onwards to drive, and nowhere to run.

The Story

The story tackles themes of escapism and a difficult childhood. Your parents can't get along, and you can’t ignore it, no matter how deep you immerse yourself in your game. If only you could get away from it all and escape to somewhere better... And seemingly, the voice in your game says you can.

Hard Mode

Continue the Story in a far more challenging difficulty. One life, faster monster, remixed levels, No mercy.

Challenge Mode

Battle through 8 unique presets (or go fully custom) as you battle many different challenges, from the game's easiest difficulty to it's hardest possible settings. Customize your character, your enemy, and your environment, and see if you can unlock all the hidden lore...
