No keys. No way out. Just a slot machine, a chair, and someone watching from the other side.


The DEAD SPIN public playtest is now open.🎰


It runs from July 8, 16:00 UTC until July 19, and anyone can take a seat. Just hit the “Request Access” button on the Steam page, step inside, and start spinning.

This playtest build includes:

  • A short tutorial before the first real spin
  • 4 opponents, each with their own tricks, skills, and bad intentions
  • Unlockable items for different builds and survival strategies
  • 100+ items to combine, exploit, and hopefully break in interesting ways

Every run helps us tune the machine: the pressure, the pacing, the difficulty, the balance, the bugs, and all the strange ways the systems can break.If something feels wrong, unfair, too easy, too punishing, confusing, broken, or suspiciously satisfying – report it. We want to know what happens once you’re strapped in and the reels start moving. If you make it out with feedback, ideas, bug reports, or survival notes, leave them in the form or on the Steam forum or join our Discord.

The machine is waiting.
