Overview

"This is the last train. And you are its only passenger." ROTTEN APPLE and Jebi Studio deliver a tense first-person shooter experience with The DeadLine.

Set against the backdrop of a world overrun by the undead, players find themselves on the final operational subway, desperately heading towards City Hall in hopes of reuniting with family. However, this journey is far from safe.

Each station presents a new gauntlet, forcing players to face ravenous zombie hordes and activate fuses within strict time limits to progress. Failure means a brutal fight for survival.

Highlights

  • Genre Blend: The DeadLine masterfully combines FPS action with survival horror elements, creating a uniquely tense atmosphere. The old-school shooter feel is evident, challenging players with relentless zombie encounters.
  • Unique Gauntlet Mechanic: The core gameplay loop revolves around timed fuse activations at each station, adding a constant sense of urgency to the zombie-slaying action. This mechanic ensures that every stop is a high-stakes encounter.
  • Multiplayer Mayhem: While the premise is a solitary escape, The DeadLine also supports multiplayer, allowing players to team up and face the undead onslaught together. This adds a cooperative layer to the survival challenge.

Who It's For

Fans of classic FPS games, survival horror enthusiasts, and players who enjoy a good zombie-killing challenge will find a lot to love in The DeadLine. Those who appreciate games with a strong sense of atmosphere and a focus on tense, time-sensitive objectives will particularly enjoy this title.
