01 / THE GUIDE
Characters & Costumes
Dead Estate features ten unique characters, each described as having a distinct playstyle that influences how players approach combat and survivability during a run.
Every character provides four costume options, offering visual variety while retaining the character’s underlying abilities and role.
- Try different characters to see which playstyle feels natural.
- Swap costumes for visual contrast without changing core abilities.
02 / THE GUIDE
Weapons & Items
A pool of 150 weapons is available, ranging from pistols to heavy artillery, allowing players to tailor firepower for each floor.
In addition, 300 items appear throughout runs, providing buffs, healing, or other strategic effects that can shift the balance of a encounter.
- Mix weapon types to cover short and long range.
- Reserve high‑impact items for tougher floors.
03 / THE GUIDE
Run Modifiers
Blessing and Curse modifiers can be applied to a run, altering fundamental conditions to create either advantageous or punitive gameplay twists.
These modifiers encourage players to adapt strategies, as each run may present different resource levels, enemy behavior, or environmental challenges.
- Start with a Blessing run to learn modifier effects.
- Try a Curse run for a heightened challenge.

Isometric Combat Design
The game uses an isometric perspective, placing the player in compact rooms that foster close‑quarters engagements and rapid decision‑making.
Tight corridors limit sightlines, making enemy encounters sudden and demanding quick reflexes to survive each encounter.
- Move deliberately in narrow hallways.
- Use the angled view to anticipate enemy positions.

- Conserve resources to extend Anya’s survival.
