01

Stealth, but goofy

Sneak past Nan's cursed knitting and haunted tea cosies — every creak could be your last.

02

One house. Many nights.

A single nan-sized map that reshapes itself each night you survive.

03

No jumpscares. Just dread.

Tension built from silence, tea kettles, and the slow turn of a chair.

Wishlist coming soon. Until then — follow the build on YouTube and socials.

Hi — I'm the entire studio. Dead Cold Games is a one-person operation making its first game, Don't Wake Nan. I handle the code, the art, the sound, the writing, and most of the doubt.

This is the beginning. No ship history, no awards, no team of veterans — just one person starting from zero, learning in public, and shipping honestly. If that sounds like your kind of studio, you're in the right place.

01 · Made alone

One person. Every line of code, every asset, every creak and every cup of tea.

02 · Shipped when ready

No publisher deadlines. The game comes out when it's good — not before.

03 · Built in public

Weekly devlogs on YouTube. Nothing hidden, nothing polished for show.

04 · No crunch, ever

A tired solo dev makes a tired game. Long walks beat long nights.

get made.

New devlog episode every few weeks on YouTube. Everything — the bugs, the bad ideas, the small wins.
