DeadCore

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Receiver

Sci-fi setting

A minimalist first-person shooter where every gun action is manual: ejecting the magazine, loading rounds one by one, cocking the hammer. Randomized levels and scattered tapes tell a dark story in fragments, while turrets and drones punish every mistake.
