A titanic complex. An insignificant man. A grim horror thriller where you aren't the savior of the world — you are a prisoner, classified as a DEAD UNIT. Hide. Unearth the truth. Find a way out. Fight for every minute of life while you still breathe.
DEAD UNIT
SteamThe sharp wail of a siren tears through dreams of the past. You open your eyes, but see only darkness. A familiar click, the whir of screws, a cable connecting — and an image ignites inside your brain. You see yourself from behind, locked in a cramped cell. A mechanical voice gives commands. You obey. Until the incident occurs…
DEAD UNIT is a grim third-person horror thriller with no combat and no superpowers. The protagonist is disposable material. A prisoner classified as a DEAD UNIT. No name, no rights, no access to security systems. He gets a single chance to escape the titanic complex CAVITY-4. The place the staff called THE GUT has gone silent. Its corridors are filled with something that has no place in our world.

CAVITY-4 is vast, and it is dying. And you are merely a tiny cell of this organism, trying to flee. To find a way out, you will have to peel back layers of secrets. Every oil stain or dent in a steel door speaks louder than words. Piece together what happened from scraps of data and material traces. These are not menu hints — this is the world itself, and it will speak to you if you look closely.
The entities were brought here by people. For experiments. But people lost control. These anomalies defy the natural laws of life, and electronics refuse to see them — only glitches and clusters of dead pixels remain on monitors and cameras. Any encounter is fatal. No weapons, no margin for error. Distorted sounds, shadows, and cold concrete are your only allies.

The main barrier between you and freedom is locked onto your head. It changes your perspective, restricts everything, and turns you into a faceless unit in the system. Can you outsmart this jailer and make it through the most dangerous parts of the complex, clawing your way toward an exit?
The architecture of THE GUT is a concrete labyrinth where sterile brutalism and grimy technogenesis intertwine. Halls up to 20 meters high, massive structures, tight passages. Everything here feels heavy, worn, dying. And amidst it — distortions from the entities that have overrun the complex. Only the answers can offer a faint hope of escape.

You are nobody. You are a number. You are a Dead Unit. But even disposable material has a chance. Go through THE GUT, unravel the catastrophe, and maybe you will see light beyond the walls. Or stay here forever — just another bloody imprint on the concrete.
