Evaluation

Dead Estate launched on Steam on October 19, 2021 and received a series of free content updates over the following three years. The final content update, Goodnight, launched on October 28, 2024, adding a new ending route with three full floors, a new optional floor, 70 items, 31 weapons, 10 challenges, new costumes, and other additions. The developer announced in advance that Goodnight would be the final content update for the game, and on November 29, 2024 stated that Dead Estate would not be receiving any more content updates. The only DLC listed is the soundtrack, released on November 24, 2021. Since then, the developer's work has centered on console versions: the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 versions launched on July 10, 2026. An Xbox version was mentioned as in progress in March 2026 with no date given. These console releases are platform versions of the existing game rather than new content. The studio has also begun work on a separate new game.

Beware of the lurking threats on every floor -- some are especially persistent...

High replayability!

10 playable characters, each with distinct playstyles and 4 Costumes each
150 weapons and 300 items to make each run unique

An isometric style with compact rooms designed for tense, close-quarters combat
Try a looped run, or varying difficulty levels to push your skills
Blessing & Curse run modifiers to maximize replayability
20 custom Challenge Runs
A bounty of secrets to be discovered, and many more to be unlocked

Controller support is included, but a keyboard + mouse is recommended for the best experience.

ASSIGNMENT ANYA

An entirely separate campaign inspired by classic survival horror games, set prior to the events of the main game. Play as Anya, a fledgling actress who finds herself helplessly lost in the mansion after her film crew is attacked by the undead.

Abandoned by her leading man and left alone with nothing but a mask to disguise herself with, Anya must escape the increasingly warped and deadly estate all on her own.
