A friendly card game can turn deadly in Death Dealer, a multiplayer horror party game for up to six players where losing at cards triggers a deadly game of hide and seek. Psychotronic, a two-person UK indie team, has launched Death Dealer into Early Access on Steam today.

What starts as a card game between friends quickly turns into a deadly game of hide and seek. Players push their luck at the card table, but whoever finishes with the fewest chips becomes the target. The others arm themselves and begin the hunt. The hunted player must hide, escape and survive until time runs out. Survive long enough and the tables turn, giving the hunted a shotgun and one last chance to fight back.

Death Dealer is built around unpredictable hunts. It features procedurally generated Casino and Hospital maps, proximity voice chat and a distinctive retro low-poly visual style, with every hunt playing out differently.

The key features include Deadly Hide and Seek, where losing at cards makes you the target, and Shotgun Time, where surviving until the countdown ends turns the tables so the hunted gets a shotgun and the hunters become the hunted. Players can also change their luck by winning chips at the card table and spinning a personal slot machine for extra chips, strange effects and more. Chaos with Friends supports up to six players, with proximity voice chat, weapons, unpredictable pickups and desperate escapes, while procedurally generated environments filled with hiding places, hazards and surprises ensure no two hunts are the same.

Psychotronic is a UK indie development team made up of two experienced game developers. Death Dealer is its latest game.

Death Dealer is available now in Early Access on Steam for $4.95 during its first week, a 38% discount on the usual $7.99 price. Regional Steam pricing may vary.

Humanity’s last hope is now a mission you can step inside. Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars is out now, a mixed-reality adventure that tells a previously untold chapter of Andy Weir’s bestselling sci-fi universe.

The immersive mixed reality experience launched on PICO, Android XR and Meta Quest 3/3S. It comes from Maze Theory, the award-winning London-based immersive entertainment studio behind Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom and Doctor Who: The Edge of Time.

Players step into the role of Ryland Grace. Ryland Grace and his friend and crewmate Rocky must work together in the face of disaster to keep the Hail Mary intact and bring their world-saving cargo to Eridani — Rocky’s home planet, and Grace’s new home.

It is a story of trust and communication between species. As this mixed-reality experience blends your physical environment with the Hail Mary itself, players diagnose problems, improvise solutions and push the limits of science and engineering to keep the mission alive.

Along the way, players work alongside Rocky to keep the mission alive, diagnose failing systems and improvise scientific solutions, and manage their ship and its precious cargo as they travel through the stars — experiencing humanity’s last hope firsthand.

Watch the launch trailer below.
