About Ray's The Dead

The long-awaited zombie raising, narrative-driven, puzzle-solving, action-packed, stealth-sneaking, 1980s-inspired, multiple timeline-having, meticulously illustrated, surprisingly-touching, dark comedy adventure has finally been unearthed!

From key team members behind the cult hit Stubbs the Zombie, experience both the life and afterlife of Ray LaMorte as you solve the mystery of his death, the only way he knows how: by raising an army of the undead!
  • Command a zombie army in both combat and puzzle-solving (in ever-changing gameplay scenarios), making strategic use of a variety of zombie types each with unique powers
  • Battle your way through a 8-10 hour story campaign across 40 hand-crafted levels, lovingly draped in 1980s Americana and dense with pop culture cameos
  • Feast (your eyes) upon 3,000+ hand-drawn sprites in a playful 2D/3D mashup art style, and indulge (your ears) with a groovy pop / retro / synthwave soundtrack
  • Survive a funny-yet-touching story of redemption as you discover what life decisions led to Ray’s death, complete with hard choices of your own to make that influence the ending

Horrible. Looked cool, but as many have said, horrific controls ruin the experience...I learned this two minutes in. Title screen says best played with a controller, but then a controller set-up and use is not an option. Tried it with a keyboard, and I wnated to ram my head into a wall after two minutes. Terrible design. Don't waste your time or money!

Controls are very buggy and this makes the game too hard to play. It dissapoints me because the concept looked very cool.

fun gameplay. Love the story. Soundtrack is a must have. My only beef it that one section on the snow level (If you know, you know)

This game is ass and the dev teams are jerks. Wish I never backed this game on Kickstarter. Don't buy this game.
Not recommended May 9, 2024
This product is unable to be completed due to an in-game cinematic not executing correctly, which results in players not being able to progress to the next stage of the level. Much of the game's flaws stem from its flawed code, with events not executing correctly, invisible enemies, and hitboxes so large that they often result in undue hits in battle and instant deaths in certain scenarios. Ray's The Dead is only admirable in its hand-drawn visuals and multitude of references to 80s through 90s pop culture; however, everything else about the game is rather tiring, from controls to narrative, all the way to its seemingly injected backer content, some of which is permanently locked in the Steam version. In other words, it is another Kickstarter project from a bygone era that should stay buried—or better yet, cremated just to be certain.
