Evaluation
Death Trash has been in Early Access since August 5, 2021, and remains explicitly unfinished — the developer has always framed 1.0 as the goal, with Early Access containing a portion of the intended full game. The developer is a two-person team working full-time on the project.
Development is clearly active. A major content update called The Perished City shipped on June 26, 2025, adding new locations, quests, characters, and enemies. A feature patch (Update 0.14.6) was released as recently as June 11, 2026, showing the team is still regularly updating the game. Prior to The Perished City, a detailed roadmap was published in March 2024 laying out the remaining Early Access milestones and the path to 1.0.
In November 2025, the developer explicitly stated they are working on the next content update — described as a large one covering the Northern part of the world map — and are simultaneously doing design work on the final locations of the game. This confirms substantial content remains to be built before the game reaches its 1.0 release. The game is on a steady trajectory toward completion, but is not there yet.

About this game
Death Trash features a world where cosmic horrors long for humanity but meet punks with shotguns. Influenced by post-apocalyptic, horror, and cyberpunk classics but with a fresh personality of its own. Death Trash combines the crunch and depth of old-school, role-playing classics with the controls and game feel of modern games.
Gameplay
Death Trash is an open-world, singleplayer role-playing game with handcrafted levels, a strong story campaign and optional local co-op gameplay.
The game features real-time gameplay with ranged and melee combat, stealth, multiple choice dialogue, an inventory of items and worms, a crafting system, and skills like pickpocketing and puking.
Travel through a gritty, post-apocalyptic wasteland by world map and explore hand-painted, organic locations. Meet exciting characters, talk to the Fleshkraken, visit the Puke Bar, or descend into old temples in search of expanding your awareness.
Customize your own character through stats and making in-game decisions. Experience the story and discover side quests. Fight against machines and larger-than-life monsters. Or become their friend.
Death Trash features extensive player freedom:
- manual save games
- dialogue can be left anytime
- kill everyone or...
- don't kill anyone!
Story
Humans traveled to the stars and some of them settled on the planet Nexus with its ancient secrets of stone and flesh. But secrets were unearthed, and the civilized people had to flee into enclosed habitats. The wasteland is reigned now by outcasts, controlling machines, and offsprings of the worm.
You are one of the outcasts, pushed outside with a dangerous burden to carry, and your path will take you through deserts, ruins, the underground, and beyond.
Singleplayer / Multiplayer Details
The main feature of Death Trash is the immersive single-player campaign. But the game also contains a local co-op mode:
- Covering the full campaign. The second player can drop in and drop out anytime.
- Second player has their own character, stats, inventory etc. but shared quest progress.
- Both players are restricted to the same location and traveling on the world map happens together.
- Both players can perform actions separately, including dialogue, and don't interrupt each other.
- The game has a shared screen mode (default) and a permanent split screen mode.
We're not planning an online co-op mode due to limited development resources. We will evaluate this again in the future.
Steam Remote Play Together will be possible.
