Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“DeadEye is available in Early Access so players can experience the game in its current state while development continues. Early Access also gives us an opportunity to gather feedback about gameplay, balance, usability, and the overall experience.

This feedback may be considered alongside our own development goals when evaluating possible adjustments. Players should base their purchase decision on the content currently available.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“DeadEye is currently expected to remain in Early Access for approximately one year.

This is an estimate rather than a fixed deadline and may change depending on development progress, technical circumstances, and the direction of the project.
”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Our current plan for the full version is to build upon the foundation currently available in Early Access.

Development may include further refinement of existing systems, balance changes, quality-of-life improvements, and the exploration of additional content and features based on development progress and community feedback.

These are current development goals rather than guaranteed additions. Their scope, priority, or inclusion may change during the Early Access period.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version of DeadEye is playable and includes the main combat and progression loop, 93 artifacts, one fully playable level and its boss, two playable characters with distinct mechanics, a pet and rune progression system, and achievements.

The current build can be played as it is, although, as an Early Access title, it may still contain bugs, balance issues, and elements that may be revised during development.
”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“There are currently no plans to change the price during or after the Early Access period.

However, pricing may be reviewed in the future depending on the state, scope, and development of the game.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback is gathered through Steam Discussions, the official Discord server, and development posts. We review comments regarding bugs, balance, usability, and the overall gameplay experience.

This feedback may be considered when evaluating adjustments and development priorities, but it does not guarantee that any particular suggestion, feature, or change will be implemented.

About This Game

DeadEye is a frenetic 2D pixel-art roguelike shooter set in a world consumed by pacts and secrets. You play as Douglas or Blood Samurai, heroes bound to the mysterious DeadEye pact—an ability that stops time and allows you to chain lethal actions in an instant. You must make the most of every second to survive hordes of monsters, complete missions, defeat ruthless bosses—including Lorian, a powerful lich who guards the cursed cemetery—and uncover the truth behind DeadEye.

Control time: activate DeadEye to freeze the battlefield for a few seconds; plan your shots, reloads, and movements before unleashing a storm of action.

Revolver and combos: wield a six-shot revolver; firing and reloading with precision maintains your combos, which multiply damage, experience, and gold. Breaking a combo slows your progress.

Waves and dynamic missions: face endless hordes with optional missions that appear during each run. Complete objectives to earn rewards and confront increasingly challenging bosses.

93 artifacts and upgrades: unlock and combine 93 artifacts of varying rarities, including cursed artifacts that grant powerful benefits at a cost. Choose from 11 traits (critical hits, pact upgrades, status effects, bullet effects…) to customize your playstyle.

Pact system: choose from 6 pacts and evolve each one into offensive, defensive, versatile, or neutral versions; every decision can radically change your strategy.

Characters and pets: play as Douglas or Blood Samurai and enhance your progression with unique pets that can equip runes. The higher your pet’s level, the more effective these benefits become—use this system to grow far more powerful.

Achievements and progression: unlock 45 achievements that will integrate with Steam.

Languages and accessibility: available in 10 languages, with configurable controls and touch interface support.

Douglas’s Journey

After sealing a pact with an enigmatic being, Douglas gained the power to manipulate time and chain deadly actions. Yet despite his great power, something stirs within him. His soul has felt heavy and hollow for a long time, and his instincts tell him the answer lies within DeadEye. Driven by the need to reclaim what he has lost and uncover the true cost of his gift, Douglas traverses a hostile world in search of the truth.
