A toxic waste spill finds its way into the water supply, causing the recently deceased to rise from their graves. Now it's up to you to blast your way through the hordes of undead if you're going to escape the city. On the way to your rescue, you'll search stores and houses for supplies, and trade with other survivors.

Chart displaying Dead Pixels percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the time players have spent in Dead Pixels depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time played is decent, reaching 9 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 4.1 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. A low negative review time (median : 65 minutes) can mean that the game crashes on some systems or that the type of gameplay was not completely clear to the players (Is the game unmistakably explained on the Steam Store ?). It is also possible that players were otherwise displeased by Dead Pixels and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
