Our take on ODDCORE

The defining constraint is the five-minute run timer: every weapon choice, item pickup, encounter, and music-based build decision happens under a countdown to death.

What is ODDCORE?

ODDCORE is a retro first-person shooter set in a liminal nightmare, with each run limited to five minutes before death.

Players fight corrupted entities using 13 weapons and 10 specialized gadgets, while more than 140 stackable items shape their builds. The game includes over 100 variants, 35 entity types with distinct mechanics, and 12 boss battles. A hub world and arcade provide minigames and prizes. An experimental sandbox editor supports custom levels. Music is part of the run system: 13 cassettes can change a run, and imported audio can generate cassettes with randomized statistics. Leaderboards cover different objectives, and the game includes 52 achievements.
