About This Game

Everyone thinks they can make it out... but they've never met the Millers.

Missing college students plague the small town of Roberta, but you never thought you’d be one of them. When you’re kidnapped in this puzzle horror game, there’s no one to rely on but yourself. Do you watch horror movies and believe you’d be smart enough to make it out? It’s time to prove it. No save button, no safety net, no friends. Can you escape before you become just another local tragedy?

Gameplay

Escape into a game full of mystery. Clues, puzzles, and jump-scares hide around every corner. Every room plays a part, and every puzzle is a mind-bending test to see how fast you can figure it out. Play as Cassidy Gauthier, kidnapped by the very people she hoped would help her, and become the desperate victim yourself. If the Millers find you trying to escape... well, let's just say watching the horror is more fun than living it.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Dead End: Escape Your Fears features psychological horror, a tense atmosphere of abduction/kidnapping, and sudden jump scares. Players explore a dark environment containing depictions of blood and deceased animals. There are minor environmental references to alcohol and tobacco (such as a spilled wine bottle and a lit cigarette), but no drug use or consumption is depicted.
