DEAD CIRCUIT

DEAD CIRCUIT is a fast-paced, atmospheric first-person zombie survival experience built in the spirit of classic arcade shooters.

Trapped inside a shadowy, decommissioned industrial facility, you are tasked with a straightforward yet punishing objective: complete the circuit, power the grid, retrieve the conduit, and make it to the extraction teleporter alive.

-Looping Facility Layout: Navigate a looping circuit of interconnected sectors where choosing to push left or right dictates your early survival strategy.

-Point-Based Progression: Earn points with every takedown to unbar reinforced doors, clear new routes, and push deeper into the darkness.

-Arsenal of 6 Buyable Weapons: Upgrade your firepower as threats scale, choosing from six distinct wall-buy weapons scattered throughout the facility.

-Objective-Driven Survival: No endless round counters—fight through the horde, restore the primary breaker, secure the conduit, and fight your way back to escape.
