A world where cosmic horrors long for humanity but meet punks with shotguns. Influenced by post-apocalyptic, horror, and cyberpunk classics, but with a fresh personality of its own. Death Trash combines the crunch and depth of old-school, role-playing classics with the controls and game feel of modern games.

Gameplay

Death Trash is an open-world, singleplayer role-playing game with handcrafted levels, a strong story campaign and optional local co-op gameplay.

The game features real-time gameplay with ranged and melee combat, stealth, multiple choice dialogue, an inventory full of items and worms, a crafting system, and skills like pickpocketing and puking.

Travel through a gritty, post-apocalyptic wasteland on a world map and explore hand-painted, organic locations. Meet exciting characters, talk to the Fleshkraken, visit the Puke Bar, or descend into old temples in search of expanding your awareness.

Customize your own character through stats and making in-game decisions. Experience the story and discover side quests. Fight against machines and larger-than-life monsters. Or become their friend.

The game contains features supporting player freedom:
– manual save games
– dialogue can be left anytime
– kill everyone or…
– don’t kill anyone!

Singleplayer / Multiplayer Details

The main feature of Death Trash is an immersive single-player campaign.

But the game contains an optional local co-op mode:
– Second player can drop in and drop out anytime during the campaign
– Second player has their own character, stats, inventory etc. but shared quest progress
– Both players are restricted to the same location
– Separate exploration of an area depends on using splitscreen mode or shared screen mode
– Both players can talk to NPCs separately
– Movement on the world map is shared

Please understand: At this point we don’t have any additional development resources to also add an online co-op mode. We might evaluate this again in the future.

Story

Humans traveled to the stars and some of them settled on the planet Nexus with its ancient secrets of stone and flesh. But the old secrets were unearthed, and the civilized people had to flee into the Silent Cities. The wasteland is reigned now by outcasts, controlling machines, and offsprings of the worm.

You are one of the outcasts, pushed outside with a dangerous burden to carry, and your path will take you through deserts, ruins, the underground, and beyond.
