Deadlight Interactive
Survival horror with teeth— crafted for tension.
We build atmospheric experiences that reward caution, curiosity, and nerve. Our debut title, Straw Eyes, arrives Q2 2026.
Straw Eyes
A slow-burn survival horror where resource management, sound, and visibility matter. Every choice is a trade—every mistake, a signal.
Media
Trailer / screenshots coming soon
Core Features
Built for suspense: readable rules, brutal consequences, and an audio-first approach to fear.
Atmosphere-First Design
Lighting, occlusion, and soundscape work together to push tension without cheap tricks.
Survival Pressure
Scarcity matters. Healing, tools, and escape routes are limited—use them with intent.
Threat That Learns
Enemy behavior adapts to patterns. Repeating the same tactic makes you predictable.
Diegetic UI
Minimal overlays. Information is delivered through world cues and believable feedback.
Optional Biofeedback
If enabled, heart-rate / arousal signals can influence intensity, encounters, or audio tension— always opt-in, always configurable.
Note: Biofeedback is optional and will never be required to play.
Accessibility Options
Adjustable camera, audio, and difficulty settings—so fear comes from design, not barriers.
Studio
Deadlight Interactive is focused on high-impact horror: strong art direction, sharp systems, and an obsessive level of polish.
