Deadeus is a new horror game for the Game Boy

A new horror game comes to the Game Boy

It is curious that in 2021 games continue to be launched for platforms that were no longer for sale many years ago. And we are not talking about two, three or five, in the case of this new game there are many more since it is a title for Game Boy or a Raspberry Pi with GPi Case.

Even so, it makes sense because on more than one occasion they are games that their developers abandoned years ago and took up again for some reason later (some during the first lockdown of 2020) or because of the challenge of doing so for a console as iconic as the from Nintendo. Be that as it may, if the title is good, it is always worth it.

This time the new game is Deadeus And together with the above, part of the appeal here is that it has been developed through GB Studio and by practically a single person. This is a tool that allows you to create video games without the need to type code, which is interesting and gives a little more merit to the development than part of a comfortable one that its author was creating.

However, let’s talk about the game itself and what Deadeus is about. Well, it is a horror game and it is true that due to the technical capabilities of the Nintendo portable console, its graphics will not be very scary, but do not be fooled by that appearance reminiscent of early Pokemon or Zelda.

As for the story, the protagonist lives in a quiet village when he receives a visit from an angry and meat-hungry god who threatens to destroy all the inhabitants. The only solution is to figure out how to satisfy them, but it will not be easy because you will only have three days to get it.

So we will have to walk quickly with the decisions that are made, but beware that these decisions will also have their importance in the end. Depending on what you end up doing, it will affect and you will see one of the 11 endings that the game has. Which is also interesting to regulate it more than once.

A game that you can even buy in a cartridge

Of course, launching a game for the Game Boy in 2021 is striking, but even more so to do it in physical format. Yes, when GB Studio decided to do it for Nintendo’s first laptop it was also with the idea of ​​selling it in a cartridge.

Thus the game can be purchased in a black cartridge that those who still have a working Game Boy will be able to play for an even more native experience. Although most of us will have to resort to emulators.

In case you are going to play it in one of the many emulators that exist for PC, Mac and even mobile devices or the popular Raspberry Pi, Deadeus can be downloaded here and you you will be free to pay what you think is appropriate.
