About Deadlight: Deadlight follows Randall Wayne, a man searching for his family across Seattle after an event in the 1980s that decimated life. It is a cinematic survival platformer that has the player run, jump, climb and struggle for survival. Mindless shooting is never a good idea, since there are far more walking corpses than bullets, so being smart and avoiding direct confrontations pays off. Highly detailed 3D models and environments are mixed with 2D side-scrolling gameplay into a vintage 2.5D cinematic platformer, and a new NIGHTMARE difficulty mode is included.

About these games

Deadlight: Director's Cut

A zombie outbreak in 1986 has wiped out any hope of normal life, leaving only survival. Players follow Randall Wayne, an introverted and slightly paranoid survivor who searches the ruins of Seattle for his loved ones. Tense 2D platforming, puzzles and encounters with the undead let you fight with melee weapons or firearms, or slip past by sneaking and using the environment, since ammunition and gear are scarce. The Director's Cut brings improved visuals and textures, refined controls, new animations and the Survival Arena mode with endless waves of zombies.

Charlie's Adventure

Players take on the role of Charlie and step into an unfamiliar world overrun by hordes of undead, lethal traps and other unexpected dangers. They fight through a string of platforming challenges, wipe out waves of enemies and turn the surroundings to their advantage. Along the way they master a range of skills and abilities and help Charlie purge his world of the infestation. The game offers twelve levels, three difficulty settings and controls made for keyboard, mouse and controller.

Rain World

You control a nomadic slugcat, both predator and prey in a broken ecosystem. After a devastating flood separates you from your family, you must find food and shelter on your own, between terrifying torrential downpours that threaten to drown all life. Armed with a spear, you traverse industrial wastes and the ruins of an ancient civilization, hunting prey while avoiding cunning, vicious predators that also hunt each other. The game relies on stealth and wit rather than force, and you must learn the ecosystem and turn each creature's strengths to your advantage. It is an action adventure survival platformer inspired by the simplicity and aesthetics of 16-bit classics.

Alter Army

Alter Army is a hardcore, fast-paced action platformer with punchy combat. The player explores a dying civilization, collects crystals and learns what happened and why they are there, and each crystal closes walls around them, locking them in with monsters. Four biomes – Forest, Snow, Mutated Forest and Hell – hold NPCs with their own backstories, a unique boss at the end of each one, two mini bosses and almost 50 monsters. The areas are vast, filled with remains of the civilization and secrets, and the difficulty adapts dynamically, balanced by drones and health packs.

The Cub

The Cub comes from the makers of Golf Club Nostalgia and Highwater and returns to their whimsical, neon-lit apocalypse, a blend of Jungle Book and The Armageddon. As a hunted child, the player parkours through the remnants of humanity while the radio plays catchy end-of-days tunes and curious survivor stories. It is an indie adventure with a casual, easygoing pace.

Lost Ruins

Lost Ruins is a 2D side-scrolling survival action game. A young girl wakes in a dimly lit dungeon with no memory of her past; rescued from bloodthirsty monsters by a mysterious magician, Beatrice, she sets out to uncover the answers and the secrets of the ruins. Combat is strategic and methodical — cut enemies down, burn them, or send their projectiles back with swords, axes and other medieval weapons, or cast spells from wands, tonics and scrolls. Accessories grant varied effects, and the environment reacts realistically: flammable liquids ignite near lit lanterns and ice magic freezes water.
