About This Game

Eight in the morning. A glowing can of Chrono-Fuel. And by midnight, the entire city is overrun by the living dead.

When the clock strikes midnight—or when you die—time snaps back to morning. The dead remember nothing, and you remember everything.

Deja-Vu of the Dead is a fast-paced 2D top-down time-loop action-adventure. Armed with melee blades, firearms, and the knowledge of your past lives, race through a living city to fight off infected hordes, take down terrifying mutated bosses, and dismantle the temporal engine trapping you in an endless nightmare.

THE 16-HOUR CLOCK (08:00 TO MIDNIGHT)

Every second counts. As the sun moves from bright morning to eerie dusk, infection carriers spread the virus across town in real time. Survivors fortify their shelters, street lamps flicker to life in the encroaching dark, and after 22:00, ancient horrors rise. Will you spend your precious hours hunting for a cure, securing weapons, or racing to prevent the outbreak before it starts?

TIGHT, VISCERAL TOP-DOWN COMBAT

Shoot and dash through escalating swarms of infected:

• Versatile Arsenal: Chain fluid 3-hit sword combos or unleash devastating firepower with pistols, combat shotguns, assault rifles, and experimental plasma cannons.

• Specialized Foes: Confront city-wide horrors—from riot cops and toxic hazmat workers to specimen experiments and shambling hordes.

• Brutal Boss Encounters: Duel Colonel Graves and his flamethrower, face Marcus Kane’s chain whip in the city jail, outwit Dr. Thorne in the museum, and face the dreaded Harvestman if you are strong enough.

DEATH IS INTEL: MASTER THE LIVING WORLD

The city operates on a real-time schedule, and your Hero’s Journal tracks every detail:

• Memorize patterns, locations, and hidden caches from loop to loop.

• Track NPC routines, vendors, and carrier delivery routes.

• Plan the optimal path through 16 interconnected urban districts—including Barrett’s Gun Shop, the Grand Hotel, Hospital, and ChronoTech facilities.

STOPPING THE OUTBREAK ISN'T ENOUGH: 23 UNIQUE ENDINGS

Synthesizing a vaccine or calling in the military feels like a victory—until midnight rolls over and the Chrono Engine rewinds the world, erasing your salvation.

The loop begins at eight. How will you spend your day?
