Living Dead House

Living Dead House is a retro arcade game that traps players inside an abandoned house surrounded by relentless waves of undead enemies. Armed with a limited collection of weapons, you must survive increasingly dangerous attacks and hold out until sunrise. With 16-bit pixel graphics, multiple game modes, and local co-op, Living Dead House offers Nintendo Switch players a fast zombie experience inspired by classic arcade games.

Survive Waves of the Undead

The core gameplay in Living Dead House revolves around surviving repeated attacks from undead creatures that refuse to leave you alone. Players must move through dangerous situations while eliminating enemies before their numbers become overwhelming. Each stage increases the pressure, forcing you to react quickly and make better use of the available space. The game includes 20 stages of undead action, providing a steady progression from manageable encounters toward more chaotic battles. Rather than relying on complicated mechanics, the experience focuses on movement, timing, and efficient attacks. This straightforward structure makes Living Dead House easy to understand while leaving plenty of room for players to improve their survival skills.

Use Weapons and Search for Hidden Secrets

Living Dead House provides six different weapons and items that can help turn a desperate situation in your favor. Choosing the right tool becomes increasingly important when larger groups of enemies begin closing in from different directions. Players must learn how each option works and avoid wasting useful resources when weaker attacks could handle the immediate threat. Exploration also offers an additional objective through hidden letters scattered throughout the game. Collecting them can unlock a devastating super weapon, giving dedicated players a valuable reward for paying attention to more than basic survival. This combination of combat and secret hunting adds another layer to the otherwise direct arcade gameplay.

Play Arcade and Survival Modes

Different modes give players more than one way to experience the undead invasion. Arcade mode provides a structured challenge across the game’s stages, making it suitable for players who want clear progression and defined objectives. Survival mode shifts the focus toward endurance and tests how long you can continue fighting as the pressure increases. Leaderboards provide another reason to improve, allowing one or two players to chase stronger performances across repeated attempts. Short sessions can quickly become competitive as you learn enemy behavior and discover more effective strategies. The emphasis on replayability fits the arcade design particularly well, since improving a previous result becomes part of the overall experience.

Fight Together in Local Co-Op

Living Dead House supports local co-op for two players, allowing a friend to join the fight against the undead on the same Nintendo Switch system. Having another survivor can provide additional firepower, but both players still need to coordinate their movement and respond quickly when enemies begin filling the screen. The cooperative option adds extra energy to the arcade gameplay and makes repeated stages more entertaining. Retro 16-bit pixel art reinforces the classic style, while a chiptune soundtrack adds personality to the horror setting. Players can also use black-and-white and CRT visual filters to give the experience an even stronger old-school horror atmosphere.
