Our take on Dead Containment
Rather than giving players unrestricted movement, the game uses an on-rails structure associated with arcade light gun shooters. It adds player-chosen and hidden routes to a format usually built around a fixed path, while keeping score rankings and short arcade modes at the center.
What is Dead Containment?
Dead Containment is an arcade-style on-rails shooter set in a city under siege by the undead.
Players move through fixed routes while using different weapons to clear enemies from the streets. The game supports solo play and online co-op with a friend. Hidden pickups can raise scores, while player-selected and concealed routes add variation to runs. Boss encounters punctuate the action. Arcade and 1 Credit modes provide two ways to play, and online rankings and leaderboards track scores. Light gun support is included. Planned additions include more levels, achievements, an armoury, and full controller support.
