## What is Deadlight?

Every night, the dead come for the house. There is one dose of medicine left, and someone in the back room is starting to turn. What do you do?

Deadlight is a story-driven zombie survival strategy game in bold ink-noir art. Ration food and medicine, fortify your safehouse, send scavengers out, and make the hard calls nobody else will make.

ZOMBIE SURVIVAL STRATEGY
Manage a group of survivors with unique traits and professions. Assign daily tasks, gather food and supplies, and keep morale from breaking — because the real enemy isn't always outside the walls.

BUILD & MANAGE YOUR BASE
Your house is your last refuge. Fortify it, organize it, and keep it running. Every resource counts when the world outside is dead.

EXPEDITIONS & COMBAT
Send your survivors into the wasteland to scavenge, complete quests, and face the undead. Choose your party carefully — not everyone comes back.

A STORY-DRIVEN EXPERIENCE
Follow a gripping narrative prologue and uncover the truth behind the outbreak through quests and events. Every run tells a different story.

DEEP PROGRESSION SYSTEM
Level up your survivors, unlock new traits, and discover dozens of items and weapons. Build the perfect team to outlast the apocalypse.

10 LANGUAGES SUPPORTED
Play in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, or Arabic.

FREE TO PLAY
Enjoy the full game for free. Remove ads with a one-time premium upgrade and play distraction-free.
