About the Game

Welcome to the Suburbs

Dead Shift is a survival-horror game where anything can be used as a weapon. Drive abandoned vehicles through crowds of zombies, explore vacant stores and homes, and try to make sense of what has happened.

It is currently being developed by Punk Labs (makers of RocketDock) for the XBox 360.
