The Deadseat
A downloadable game for Windows
The full version is available on Steam for $2.99!
Steam release features Hard Mode (Part 2), continuing and doubling 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.

Just finished the hardmode and honestly, I'm kinda terrified for that no respawn bruh... it's gonna be difficult asf I already can feel it 😩 😫
Anyway, here's some gameplay on how that went ig.

Solid game but hardcore mode (especially the last level) needs a bit of rebalancing.
oh , is 10/10!!!
I played this before it got a full release, but I might get the full one since I loved this game so much! 10/10, honestly!
preatty preatty preatty good
This one was INSANELY good and super creepy, I loved the game mechanics in the little 'kyd' console, I like that it was a lot of action switching between all the different minigames.
Really really awesome game yall
this was such an amazing game, i loved the story plot and the mechanics. it was terrifying but so good & great job to these devs making it
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
