DEADHOLD (Working Title)

Pre-Alpha v0.1 — Closed Playtest Build

Defend a boarded-up house against waves of zombies in this top-down roguelite. Every round, zombies attack your windows. Boards break. Breaches happen. You shoot, you repair, you survive — or you don't.

Between rounds, draft one of three random upgrades. Stack damage for a glass cannon run. Reinforce your boards for a fortress build. Chase rare upgrades that transform your pistol into something unrecognizable. No two runs play the same.


WHAT'S IN THIS BUILD

  • Single-room arena with 4 boarded windows
  • Wave-based rounds with scaling difficulty
  • 2 zombie types (shamblers and runners)
  • 8 upgrades across 3 rarities (Common, Rare, Epic)
  • Full run loop: survive, upgrade, die, restart

WHAT'S NOT IN THIS BUILD (yet)

  • Real art (everything is placeholder grey-box)
  • Music
  • Additional zombie types
  • The full 30-upgrade pool
  • Multiple rooms, outdoor areas, additional weapons

This is a gameplay test. I want to know if the core loop is fun. Your honest feedback directly shapes development.
