Brings what grabs you about Deadlight: a post-apocalyptic setting, scarce resources and survival as well as a dark atmosphere.

A grim survival adventure set in a dust-shrouded ruined city where limited stamina, scarce resources and risky climbing define the experience. Instead of constant gunplay it relies on bluffing with an empty weapon and tension while searching for the hero's family.
