There are secrets that should never have been buried. Dead End Streets is a first-person investigative and psychological horror experience, structured as an anthology of criminal and supernatural files from the 1990s.
Through this main game, you will have access to the core investigation structure and its independent chapters released as expansions (DLCs), each offering a complete story with dozens of hours of exploration, complex puzzles, and an atmosphere of uninterrupted tension.
CHAPTER 1: HOME ALONE – THE INVASION (SEPTEMBER)
Approximate duration: 10 hours
Setting: Abandoned Industrial Complex / Rural Facilities (1990s)

KEY GAME FEATURES
Narrative Horror in the 90s: No on-screen objective markers, no cell phones or digital maps. Your navigation relies purely on paper maps, compasses, handwritten notes, and logic. Tactile Investigation: Examine 3D objects, open drawers, change your flashlight batteries, and listen to audio tapes to solve real mechanical puzzles.
Anthology Format: Purchase and play each chapter at your own pace through expansion packs (DLCs), keeping all your progress and achievements centralized in a single application.
Focus on Atmosphere and Stealth: Confront the terror of claustrophobic environments and learn to use ambient sound to your advantage to avoid hostile presences.
