The Cabin is getting a flat-screen version of the game to enjoy for those without VR and wanting to play Drop Dead: The Cabin
With VR still a bit of a barrier to entrance for some video games, it is no shock that many did not get a chance to experience what Drop Dead: The Cabin had to offer when it hit the Meta Quest. A good number of players had their shot and enjoyed it, though, which is why we are here with the announcement that Soul Assembly is bringing the game back to PC with a flat-screen edition of the game. All so even more gamers will have their shot at the survival co-op shooter and see what true horror is waiting within The Cabin. At least when it fully launches sometime after the October NEXT fest that is coming up. So, not a final release date to mark down, but a solid window for the horror of things to come into your eye holes one more time.
If you missed out on Drop Dead: The Cabin before, this is a 4-player co-op hooter that mixes in a bit of the roguelike elements of the gameplay. All as a love letter to the 80s horror films with the look and style, as we survive many a wave of zombies and other kinds of monsters on the way for us. All brought down to the basic PC setup, and using the basic controls we would expect to have for any game like this out there. There might even be a bump in visual fidelity for Drop Dead: The Cabin given that it is not locked into the VR design space and the limits that the Meta could be placing on it. We can have much more power in our gaming PCs than the headset could ever run, so we can add that to the growing list of possible upgrades we have here. Have a look at the full release for this announcement and a bit of the VR gameplay we have had in the past for it.
Soul Assembly is thrilled to announce that Drop Dead: The Cabin, the critically acclaimed VR co-op survival shooter, is making its way to Steam later this year as a standalone PC title. Players can wishlist the game today and be among the first to face the terror when it launches.
Drop Dead: The Cabin will be able to play during October NEXT Fest and will release in full shortly after.
Originally launched on Meta Quest, 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.
Key Features:
- Expanded 4-Player Co-op: Team up with up to three friends in intense survival scenarios, coordinating strategies to fend off relentless waves of zombies and monstrous creatures.
- Full Crossplay Support: Play seamlessly with VR users, bridging the gap between flat-screen and VR gameplay for a unified multiplayer experience.
- Dynamic Roguelike Elements: Each run offers a unique challenge with randomized enemy spawns, resource locations, and objectives, ensuring no two sessions are the same.
- Strategic Resource Management: Scavenge for weapons, ammo, and fuel to maintain power and communication systems, crucial for survival and successful extraction.
- 80s Horror Aesthetic: Immerse yourself in a stylized world inspired by classic horror films, complete with neon-lit visuals and a synth-heavy soundtrack.
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.
