About

Welcome to the official site of the video game Deadrock, created and maintained by Alex May.

Deadrock is a survival game set in a zombie-infested town in Nevada. As the only living human being in Deadrock, sent in to eliminate the source of the undead scourge, you’ll have to carefully marshall the resources available to you in order to ensure your survival. Stash water and ammo in safe houses and board up the windows and doors. Creep around in the deserted alleyways to avoid detection. Make every shot count.

Get to the bottom of the mystery!

Deadrock takes inspiration from its predecessor Cottage Of Doom; a number of other video games; some zombie films; the book I Am Legend by Richard Matheson and rogue-like games. With its randomly-generated town, seething swarms of zombies the volume of which you may never have seen in a video game before, and its harrowing survival gameplay, Deadrock will be a different experience every time you play it.

The game is currently in the prototype stage.

    any way to get added to a mailing list?

    believe it or not, i LOVED cottage of doom, and was actually searching around to see if it had any updates (because, yea, it was buggy and never met its full potential). so… i’d love to stay updated on this project without needing to actually, you know, remember to check back in.

    Sure thing. I can start a mailing list. I’ll put up a blog post about it now.

    So, about a year in, not much has happened. I should really pick up the pace. I keep thinking about it, so the project is still very much on.

    By eck am I looking forward to this. I just hope I’ve scratched up enough pennies to purchase a PC by the time you’re finished!
