Our take on Deadline Escape
Every map imposes its own countdown, turning scavenging and combat into a race to reach extraction before time expires.
What is Deadline Escape?
Deadline Escape is a low-poly extraction looter shooter set in a post-apocalyptic world.
Each raid takes place on one of four maps with its own countdown, requiring an escape before time runs out. Players gather food, water, equipment, and other resources while confronting zombies, rebels, renegades, and bosses. A hideout provides storage, trading, inventory management, missions, and progression. The game includes health, stamina, thirst, and hunger systems, plus a grid-based inventory and a secure container. Softcore and Hardcore modes change the survival experience. More than 300 items, over 200 quests, day and night changes, weather cycles, statistics, and a shooting range support the raid-and-return structure.
