Dead Tired

 Overview

Dead Tired is a 3D Survival Horror game developed by a student team from Asia Pacific University (Year 2, Semester 1). Inspired by the tense atmosphere of Five Nights at Freddy’s, this project explores the psychological breakdown of an overworked employee who has gone three days without rest and forgotten to take his medication for schizophrenia.

On the way home, reality and hallucination blur together. Paranormal beings lurk in the shadows, and the player must survive while completing tasks that reflect the pressures of work.

 Key Features

• Immersive Horror Atmosphere

Blending psychological tension with supernatural threats, the game creates a chilling survival experience.

• Three Unique Levels

• Level 1 – Taxi Ride: Defend yourself from monsters outside the car window, dodge attacks from behind, and reply to your boss’s messages to avoid penalties.

• Level 2 – Streetlights: Walk home under flickering lights, use illumination to slow the monster, and flash it with your phone’s light when it gets too close.

• Level 3 – Bathroom: Shower while fending off multiple monsters—close the window, turn the lights back on, and keep the water running to prevent your vision from blurring.
