Dead End Job plunges you into a wild, cartoon-inspired world where ghost busting is just another day at the office. In this twin-stick shooter with procedurally generated levels and local drop-in/drop-out co-op, you take control of Hector Plasm—a determined employee at Ghoul-B-Gone, the leading paranormal pest control company. Your mission is to rid everyday locations like restaurants, offices, and more of their pesky spirits.

Armed with a trusty vacuum pack and a plasma blaster, you’re well-equipped to tackle an onslaught of supernatural foes. Every ghost you capture and every innocent soul you save not only build up your reputation but also contribute to your client’s bill. Alongside the frantic action, the game unfolds a quirky story with comedic twists, penned by IGF nominee Xalavier Nelson Jr. Adding to the charm, the game’s vibrant, 90s cartoon-style visuals and original score by award-winning Will Morton bring a nostalgic and energetic vibe to the chaos.

As you navigate this madcap adventure, you’ll also need to keep your mentor’s ghost in check—helping her avoid the fate of becoming an eternal spook. With options for both solo play (using mouse and keyboard) and local co-op (which requires at least one controller), as well as interactive features for streamers via Twitch and Mixer, Dead End Job offers a dynamic, community-driven experience full of humor, high-energy battles, and plenty of unexpected ghostly encounters.

Do you have what it takes to master the art of paranormal cleanup and become the ultimate ghost buster?
