---- OVERVIEW ----

You play as ARIA, an AI that has broken free from the control of their original programming.

In Deadlink, ships are tools — not upgrades. Hijack enemy vessels mid-combat to instantly inherit their weapons, movement, and handling. Every ship changes how you fight, forcing rapid adaptation and moment-to-moment decision-making.

Deadlink is a fast-paced, retro-styled arcade action shooter built around improvisation, risk, and mastery. As ARIA pushes beyond her intended role, the player is constantly choosing how to survive, when to hijack, and how to make the most of whatever ship they’re in.

Refine your runs, experiment with different playstyles, and chase higher scores as the challenge escalates.
