The Deadseat
About The Deadseat
In The Deadseat, survival means more than dodging monsters—it’s a psychological test of focus, fear, and multitasking. Developed by a rising indie studio known for narrative-driven horror, this gripping title places players in the back seat of a car spiraling into the unknown. With a handheld game console in your lap and chaos outside the window, your job is simple: stay alive in two worlds at once.
Blending eerie storytelling with multitasking mechanics, The Deadseat immerses players in a tension-fueled experience where every sound, flicker, and shadow has meaning. It’s a unique blend of psychological thriller and survival gameplay, with emotional undertones tied to family tension and personal trauma.
Switch Between Two Terrifying Worlds to Survive
What makes The Deadseat unforgettable is its constant tension between the imaginary and the real. Players are never fully safe, even inside a car.
Backseat World: You control a retro-style game character navigating “Carister Valley,” collecting turkeys, cameras, and soda to build defenses.
Real World (The Car): A simple turn of the road becomes a descent into a nightmare. Put the console down to react to strange noises, shadows, or sudden movements from the car roof.
This layered interaction forces constant awareness. Flip too slowly between realities, and you’re consumed by what’s crawling outside—or inside.
