The Deadseat
A downloadable game for Windows
The full version is available on Steam for $2.99!
Steam release features Hard Mode, as well as double the story!
You are in the backseat of your parent's car during a long drive. As your parents begin fighting, your hand-held game is your only source of entertainment. But the game begins to mirror real life... Collect items on your hand-held game to send them to the backseat and use them to defend against the monstrosity that's trying to make its way into the backseat with you.
SURVIVE THE NIGHT DRIVE
Your drive home from grandma's is interrupted by an unexpected detour. Play a hand-held game in the backseat as your parent's drive.
RETRO GAMING
Your hand-held game is beginning to mirror reality... Supplies you collect in the game will be sent to the backseat.
TRAPPED IN THE DEADSEAT
A deadly monstrosity wants to join you in the backseat. Juggle your supplies and defend all sides. In this car, there’s only onwards to drive, and nowhere to run.
THE STORY
Your parents can't get along, and you can’t ignore it, no matter how deep you immerse yourself in your game. If only you could get away from it all and escape to somewhere better. And seemingly, the voice in your game says you can.

It's an insane well written story.
Simple and straight to the point.
Challenging at some turns but not difficult to the brim.
Music adds a nice feel to the world.
The monsters are genuinely scary and really keeps you on your toes during the end of the final act.
Ending was shocking but predicable from the jump.
The dialogue with the parents were pretty crazy too (forgot to mention).
Lastly, it's a straight 10/10 will definitely play again on hard mode. Seeing a project like this created within 24hrs is insane. Can't wait for FEED THE PIT!
Amazing game, will definitely get the steam version

A month ago I sat down to make a game with a similar theme, where you also need to drive in a car in a night forest and fight off mobs. Now when I see such a good project, I think about releasing my own)
Anxiety driving horror at its finest
EASILY ONE of the best indie games ive played in a long time, even when i kept losing the boss fight the game was fun, and the game felt so story rich throughout both my playthroughs on normal and hardcore!
Absolutely loved this game, everything about it!
Played it few days ago and it was great ! Loved mix between paying on console an in "real world". And the ending took me by suprise as well ! Unfortunately I wasn't good enough to try hard mode but I had a lot of fun regardless !
This game was so much fun, just beat hard mode and love the story EVEN MORE!! Hope we get to see more updates and stuff to learn more about the lore itself (I played the steam version)
☠️☠️☠️Un pequeño niño temeroso de los demonios en su casa se aventura en busca de la cueva de la felicidad... ¿Pero realmente ese lugar traera la felicidad a su vida?... ¡Averígualo en el nuevo gameplay en mi canal!☠️☠️☠️
História e a gameplay são excelentes, quem quiser acompanhar a história narrada em pt-br chega mais!
This game actually drove me insane, no pun intended. I had goosebumps and was on edge from the storyline ALONE, not just the gameplay. I already know whatever game they make next is going to be an absolute banger.
w game
Reminds me of when my parents argued in the car 5/5
lemme shoot my shot!
OMG... so cool!
Help gaem no load

I had an issue launching the game when downloading it through the itch.io app, my solution was downloading it through the website and running it manually 😭
I didn't think I could actually beating hard mode, but I was determined to know how the story ended. Fire game!!🔥🔥
