Lost in the woods. Trapped in a cabin. Face wave after wave of undead horrors in this intense 80s-themed zombie survival shooter.

Drop Dead: The Cabin is a multiplayer survival horror FPS that throws you and a friend into a pulse-pounding, 1980s-inspired nightmare. This PC & VR-compatible shooter blends co-op actionroguelike replayability, and a retro horror aesthetic into a brutal fight for survival.

Lost in the woods, you stumble across a seemingly abandoned cabin. But this is no ordinary hideout. It was once home to the twisted scientist Dr. Monday, whose experiments have unleashed a deadly horde of undead abominations. Now, the forest is crawling with monstrosities, and the only thing standing between you and certain death is your skill, your weapons, and your ability to work as a team.

Fight to keep the power running, the lights on, and the comms active. Let the systems fail, and the undead become faster, deadlier, and harder to see. Every decision matters. In solo or online co-op, teamwork is key. Stay together or split up to complete critical survival objectives. Use the environment to your advantage and fight with precision to survive the night.

Playable in both PC and on VR headsetsDrop Dead: The Cabin brings intense action to every player. Inspired by classic horror films and series like Stranger Things, it blends fast-paced wave shooting with immersive storytelling and endlessly replayable combat.

Do you have what it takes to escape the cabin... or will you join Monday's monstrosities?


Originally launched on Meta Quest in 2023, Drop Dead: The Cabin garnered praise for its gripping atmosphere, strategic gameplay, and high replayability. Described as a "love letter to classic 1980s horror," the game immerses players in a fog-shrouded forest teeming with undead threats, challenging them to survive the night and secure extraction.

"The response to Drop Dead: The Cabin in VR has been incredible," said David Solari, CEO at Soul Assembly. "We're excited to bring this experience to a broader audience, enhancing the game for PC players while maintaining the core elements that made it a hit in VR."

PC players can look forward to refined controls, optimized performance, and the same heart-pounding action that VR players have come to love. With the addition of 4-player co-op and crossplay functionality, Drop Dead: The Cabin aims to deliver a definitive survival horror experience on PC.

Drop Dead: The Cabin will be available to play during October NEXT Fest and will release in full shortly after.

Key Features:

  • Intense Survival Combat: Engage in fast, brutal wave-based combat using guns, melee weapons, and environmental tactics. Grab your gear, reload manually, aim for the head, and feel the impact through physics-based interaction and advanced haptics.
  • Solo or Online Co-op: Play alone or with a friend. Stick together or divide and conquer as you complete objectives, defend the cabin, and face increasing challenges.
