## About DeadCore

DeadCore is a 2014 first-person precision platformer developed by 5 Bits Games, set in a futuristic world where players ascend a mysterious tower rising from the void. The game combines environmental puzzle-solving with gravity manipulation and limited ammo management, requiring players to master movement mechanics alongside traditional platforming challenges. Reviewers highlight the challenging difficulty and atmospheric presentation, while players describe the experience as both contemplative and intense, noting that the checkpoint system enables short, high-intensity sessions suited to the game's medium length. The speedrun-focused level design rewards exploration with multiple routes per level, and the gun doubles as a tool for platforming and combat. Currently priced at $9.99 USD with 85% positive Steam reviews from over 1,000 players, DeadCore is a solo-only experience that does not officially support Steam Deck play.
