Dead & Spinning
You wake up in a cabin. The front door is nailed shut. Find your friends. Escape.
Controls: Click the directional buttons/menu text with mouse. Don't click items.
If you liked this game and you want another 2D browser horror where you run around and collect items, but it's a complete game, try this one I made:

I also made a creepy PS1/old PC style game set in a cabin:

"Dead & Spinning" was made on June 26, 2026. It was made for The Very Serious Juniper Dev Game Jam. I interpreted the spin to win as being like a turn on spinning in their grave, since this is a game with zombies/the undead. There's also an unseen spin happening whereas it's randomized which hallways are warm/cold and (more importantly) which characters (including the main character) are infected zombies. If the game is expanded or continued, this randomization would matter in the ways of curing some, or trying to escape with them, etc. Let me know if you liked the game. This is a very basic version of it. I have different ideas for it for expansion ranging from continuing this 2D old computer version, or maybe something more like the PS1 Evil Dead game, which I thought had an awesome aesthetic.
