About Heavy Metal Death Can
Classic Survival Horror Emerges from the DepthsHeavy Metal Death Can is a Retro Inspired Survival-Horror game set on a submarine in an alternate history version of late 70s Sweden. Trapped in the depths of the Norwegian Sea you must fight for survival against the terrifying Sludge which has possessed your crew mates and turned them into horrific zombies. Look for survivors and uncover the truth behind the madness. A Return to True Survival HorrorStep into a claustrophobic, rust-ridden nightmare inspired by genre-defining classics of the PS1 era. With limited ammo, fixed camera angles, and analog dread, every creak of the hull might be your last.
- Fixed Cameras. Real Tension.
No handholding. No over-the-shoulder comfort. Your fear is earned. - Inventory Matters.
Manage dwindling supplies, makeshift keys, and enigmatic keepsakes from a submerged past. Every bullet counts—and you will never have enough. - Retro Revival Aesthetics.
The game’s art style draws inspiration from the vibrant backdrops of late ‘90s horror and adventure games, reimagined with modern rendering technologies.
- Alternate History. Nordic Noir Meets Deep Sea Horror.
Immerse yourself in a Swedish setting where otherwise cozy cultural staples are contrasted with the metallic callousness of industrial brutality. - A Lovable cast of survivors.
Along the way, you'll encounter other survivors—like the enigmatic Milton and the nihilistic Captain Olof—each with their own agendas and haunted pasts. Trust is scarce, but cooperation is the only way home. - Soundtrack from the Depths.
Drenched in distorted guitar, analog synth and unsettling silence. Every note is a nail in your coffin.
- Old-school terror meets Swedish submarine surrealism in this survival horror in the style of early console classics.
- Fixed camera angles and tank controls (with modern options) lend a haunting atmosphere to the game.
- Uncover a twisting narrative through uneasy alliances and strange encounters.
- A nostalgic visual style inspired by '90s horror games, enhanced with modern rendering technologies.
- Unique Late 1970s Swedish Naval setting gives you a creepy sense of fauxstalgia for a place in time that never quite was.

It’s pretty good till the end, I ended up getting soft locked and couldn’t fight the final boss no health no ammo and I’m pretty experienced with these kinds of games. Controls are nice but can be super touchy when trying to navigate around enemies. I say it’s worth 10-15 bucks it’s very short but has great music and puzzles. Not as good as Crow Country or Tormented Souls. Dev if your going to have a large final boss fight spawn in some health items before hand literally every Resident Evil did that, the games you are so clearly imitating. 6/101 found this helpful
It's a damn solid game with some jank in the controls, but it's all part of the package. The puzzles could use some variety and some areas seem darker than they need to be, but overall I've enjoyed the game quite a bit, especially the soundtrack and audiowork. The demo already had me sold with the 90's console classic vibe and I bought the whole thing right after finishing the 20min slice. It's not too long, and the story itself isn't anything new under the sun, but it has the decency not to overstay it's welcome and respects my time unlike the majority of new releases that insist on setting you off to drone over mindless busywork with just the sole goal of padding gameplay time instead of offering anything substantial in return. I would buy 10 RE-clones like this, any day of the week over some AAA slop that takes 100 hours to finish 100%.1 found this helpful
Amazing horror game in that classic Resident Evil style with top notch soundtrack Also Krufs is a good bubble1 found this helpful
Really good traditional style Survival Horror. Put in about 4 hours for a run that resulted in 1 hour total (3 hours dying, etc. >.>) Several interesting achievements to pursue on top of the baseline 'made progress in the game', plus it makes good use of the level layouts. Combat is simple but does the trick, and it's probably a 9/10 for its price point. Definitely recommend if you've got that old school itch and want a quick fix.
Heavy Metal Death Can is a modern survival horror classic! My Review: https://youtu.be/8xZCTrt1Xpg?is=3NCFUV2MlM3Y3nB5
Sick ass music and a cool grimey oil vibe to go along with a solid survival horror experience. Puzzles were easy enough for a bozo like me to figure out without looking up anything so that's a plus!
