About This Game

Play Snake as you’ve never played it before.

In The Dead Roam Free, you slither, shoot, and snack your way through a twisted military experiment gone wrong. Blood, betrayal, and bad jokes are all part of the package.

You are Bob Segatti, private eye and fixer for those who can pay. When a mysterious dame walks into his office, Bob bites off more than he can chew — literally. One betrayal and a concrete floor later, he wakes up undead and hungry for answers.

Crawl through labs, streets, and sewers in a top-down action-puzzle adventure where every meal makes you longer, stronger, and dumber. Uncover the truth behind the army’s secret zombie program, rescue the girl, and get revenge — one bite at a time.

Features

• A twisted blend of Snake, noir, and B-movie horror

• Eat humans to grow your horde — and yourself

• Solve devious puzzles and destroy military experiments

• Pixel-art gore meets dark, absurd humor

• Original retro soundtrack full of grit and groove

• A story of love, loss, and limb-eating revenge

Bob Segatti might be falling apart, but nothing will stop him from solving this case — dead or alive.

The Dead Roam Free is launching in Early Access so we can build it together with the community. The core game is ready — zombie-snake action, blood, betrayal, and bad decisions — but new episodes, puzzles, and features will rise from the grave as we go. We’re a small team and your feedback helps shape what comes next. Join the horde and help us make this monster even better.
