Dead End Job hits Apple Arcade

Be the best at putting pests to rest!


September 19th, 2019 - After a long period of silence, we’re delighted to announce Dead End Job to be included as one of the first games available only on Apple Arcade!
 
The game subscription service has launched today, offering an all-new way to enjoy more than 100+ games created by visionary and innovative developers like Ant Workshop, the studio founded by ex-Rockstar Games Lead Designer Tony Gowland.
 
Dead End Job sends you into a madcap, whacky world to bust up ghosts. It’s a procedurally generated twin-stick shooter that straps a vacuum pack to your back, and puts a plasma blaster in your hand. For you, it’s just another day in the office. Check out your new job’s tasks in this short trailer:
 

 
You take on the role of Hector Plasm, a worker at Ghoul-B-Gone – ‘the Number One experts in paranormal pest control’ – as you’re tasked with heading to haunted offices, restaurants, and other everyday buildings before freeing them of unwanted guests.

Do you love 90's cartoons? Yeah, so do we, and we grew up on their stretchy squishy gross-out laughs. Our love for them spills over into the game like so much ectoplasm. See every nose hair in wacky, vibrant art that brings everyday items to life as screwball spooks to suck up.

In the upcoming tvOS® release, you'll be able to bust ghosts together with a buddy in drop in / drop out sofa co-op that works seamlessly within the main adventure. Have you got what it takes to be the best at putting pests to rest?
 

Dead End Job is now available on Apple Arcade first and will be available at a later stage also on PC and all major consoles.
