Deadly Days: Roadtrip is by Pixelsplit, published by Sidekick Publishing, and released on Steam on 29 October 2026. It is a bullet heaven set in a 2.5D pixel zombie apocalypse, and your build is your backpack: weapons and items take up room, neighbouring items boost each other, and you can merge them or craft legendaries. You drive a bus from stop to stop, scavenge fuel and decide when to extract. Levels are procedurally generated, rescued survivors join with their own playstyle and items, and there is an Endless Mode and a Weekly Challenge where everyone plays the same survivor with the same modifiers.

Co-op works on one screen, and with Steam Remote Play Together a friend can join online without owning the game.

Why unknown: the Steam page has no AI disclosure section (checked 29 October 2026). That does not mean no AI was used; it means there is no declaration.

The price is $14.99, with 35% off to $9.74 at launch (US store, checked 29 October 2026). Windows.
