Welcome to the hub page for DEAD END, the action-packed core game in A. R. Curry’s DEADVERSE, a growing series of solo, standalone games set in the same dark-humored universe.
DEAD END is a small-box solo game for ages 12+ that plays in around 25 minutes.

You play as Bobby Butcher as he, and his demonic third arm, Lanius, make bonkers life or death decisions to fight off waves of unrelenting enemies converging on you.
You win if you defeat all of the enemies and survive.
You lose if… Well, you lose if you die.
DEAD END is designed to be an expansion-driven game, meaning it will continue to grow and evolve overtime as new content is released.
Each game in the growing DEADVERSE will come with bonus content for DEAD END.
For now, this BONUS content will only be available within the various DEADVERSE games, so be sure to keep an eye out for them as well.
As the DEADVERSE grows, dangerously awesome new ENEMY cards will get added to DEAD END. Some of them will come with their own special rules that’ll alter gameplay in neat ways. This means the ENEMY REFERENCE SHEET that comes with your copy of DEAD END will become outdated but fear not. You can easily access and download the newest edition right here as well as on The Game Crafter shop page!
Remember, bonus content comes in each DEADVERSE game, but they’re fun add-ons and not required to play the core game. Everything you need for DEAD END comes in the box, while NEW mechanics will be introduced in its direct expansions (DEAD END – DEADLY EXPANSION).
So much deadliness all in one place!
Below, you’ll find every card in the DEADVERSE that’s compatible with DEAD END, along with the game you can find it in.
