About Deadlight

✦ AI summary

Guide Randall Wayne through a devastated 1980s Seattle, platforming and sneaking past hordes of undead as you search for your family in this cinematic survival adventure. Stunning 2.5D visuals and brutal environmental puzzles demand precision and wit over brute force, rewarding careful exploration and creative problem-solving in a beautifully realized dead world.

The world has ended. There is no hope. No new beginning. Only the survivors. DEADLIGHT follows the journey of Randall Wayne, a man searching for his family across Seattle during the aftermath of a 1980s event that has decimated life on earth. This visually stunning Cinematic Survival Platformer will challenge you to run, jump, climb, and struggle for your life as you look for answers and the ones you love.

Key Features:

  • A beautiful deadly world where a misstep means death. Sharpen your surviving instinct and learn to turn the environment from foe to ally. In this hopeless world, an ordinary man, Randall Wayne, will reveal himself as a natural born survivor.
  • Think. Mindless shooting is never a good idea: there are much more walking corpses than bullets. Be smart and avoid direct confrontations whenever you can.
  • A suggestive world of darkness. 3D highly detailed models and environments mixed with 2D sidescroller old school gameplay to create a vintage 2.5D Cinematic Platformer. Unable to escape from the horror of this dying world, Randall Wayne's journey will lead him to Seattle, in a strange search beyond his own survival.
  • HD graphics that enhance the immersion and atmosphere of a dead world
  • New NIGHTMARE difficulty mode from the 80s. Totally rad!
  • Tons of extras, making of videos, unreleased concept art and more!

Peak, 10/10. The game knows what it wants to be and nails it in every way.

This game captures the exact energy of Limbo, specifically echoing the Xbox 360 Live Arcade era when it originally launched for $15. Today, it goes dirt cheap during Steam sales. It is a super short experience, but it features solid voice acting and incredible environments; the city design alone makes the game worth looking at. I think this game absolutely nails its aesthetic. You can feel that it was meant to be so much more, and that the developers had to pull back while still pushing the absolute limits of what they could create. Having access to the Director’s Cut on Steam is a huge win for me, as I love diving into the developer logs, inspirations, and concept art. The game excels at making you feel the despair of its world, keeping you fully aware that everything is going to be awful and a constant struggle. At the same time, it features some very dumb action set pieces, alongside checkpoints where you hear the exact same voice line every single time you respawn. Ultimately, this game deserves to be held up right next to—if not higher than—Limbo. Both share the same fundamental mechanics, but the depressing world combined with more character agency puts this game abo…

I played and finished this back in 2016, and had a good time. Not sure why so many thumbing it down now in 2026. Perhaps they should thumb down Windows 11, and not a game that ran for me effortlesly 10 years ago.

Decent platformer. Can be frustrating until you get the timing right for some portions.
