Dead Estate Outrun the monster, floor by floor

You pick a character, enter the Valentine Estate and shoot your way from room to room, collecting money and items to power up before the next floor. The rooms are small and the view is isometric, so fights stay close and frantic: bullets everywhere, demons and zombies crowding the doorways, quick decisions or a quick death.

Then there is Chunks. He is a mini-boss on every floor, built like a truck, and you never see his health bar. Every time you switch rooms he heals a chunk of it, so dawdling can end a run early. He is the game's way of telling you to keep moving, and he works.

The first floors will beat you up while you learn what each enemy does, then it clicks.

Ten characters, each with a distinct playstyle and four costumes. 150 weapons and 300 items, so two runs rarely look alike. On top of that: Blessing and Curse run modifiers, 20 challenge runs (one drops you into a Pac-Man style floor, another forbids moving while enemies are in the room), alternate floors and floor variants hidden in the estate, difficulty levels and looped runs for when you want to suffer.

Finishing things unlocks more: characters, skins, endings. Each character gets their own cutscene on unlock and their own ending still, and the credits nudge you toward what to try next. The pixel art is sharp and the soundtrack swings between driving and calm exactly when it should. Secrets are everywhere, and the game rewards the curious.
