'Dead End Job' (ALL) Gets Release Date - Screens

Dead End Job sends you into a madcap, Ren & Stimpy-esque world to bust up ghosts.

Dead End Job is a rougelike twin-stick shooter with included buddy co-op that straps a vacuum pack to your back and puts a plasma blaster in your hand. For you, it’s just another day in the office.

You take on the role of Hector Plasm, a worker at Ghoul-B-Gone – ‘the Number One experts in paranormal pest control’ – as you’re tasked with heading to haunted offices, restaurants, and other everyday buildings before freeing them of unwanted guests. One minute you're sucking up specters, the next you're sucking up to your bosses, chasing that promotion. Have you got what it takes to be the best at putting pests to rest?

Exercise that fighting spirit, since every specter you snag and every resident you rescue is added to your client’s bill at the end of the job. Haunted by the ghost of your mentor, quite literally, you must learn the ropes and to save her soul before she’s forced to spend eternity as a spook (voted “Least Preferred Fate” in Ghost Hunter Monthly).

Whether you play alone or team up with a haunt-hunting buddy for some seamless drop-in/drop-out split-screen couch co-op action, Dead End Job is sure to keep you coming back for more! Stream the game on Twitch and Mixer and get your audience in on the action — integrated interactivity allows your viewers to help you devastate demonic intruders or hinder your assault on the afterlife.

Promotion prospects come regularly, making this anything but a Dead End Job!


Lovers of 90’s cartoons, wacky ghost hunting adventures, or cleanliness, will have a literal blast zooming through the vibrantly cartoony, gag ‘till you laugh, procedurally generated world as they suck up unsuspecting spooky pests.

Groove to the beats of award-winning composer Wil Morton (of Grand Theft Auto fame) as you rescue residents and chase promotions by racking up hefty invoices to send to your clients — ghoul by fiendish ghoul!

Applicant requirements:

  • Nothing to lose
  • Fearless in regards to potential ghost encounters
  • Expect very flexible working hours
  • Reckless in terms of toxic and sticky surroundings
  • Fire-resistance is optional, but not a must
  • Weapons and house cleaning expertise recommended
  • Opportunity to earn big money! (For your boss.)
  • Be the best at putting pests to rest!

Dead End Job is coming to PC, Nintendo  Switch, PS4 or Xbox One on December 13, 2019.
