Dead Signal: Text Horror
Interactive Horror Texts
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
She’s trapped. Your replies decide if she lives. Real-time horror texts with branching choices and 7 endings. Trust no one.
11:47 PM. Unknown Number.
"please"
"i found this number in my pocket"
"i dont know where i am"
A stranger named Megan has found your number. She's trapped in an old house. Someone is hunting her. And right now, you're the only person who can help her escape.
Dead Signal is a real-time horror experience told entirely through text messages. Guide Megan through a nightmare, make impossible choices, and discover that nothing, and no one, is what they seem.
REAL-TIME TERROR
Messages arrive throughout your day, just like texts from a real person. Megan waits while you're at work. She hides while you sleep. When your phone buzzes, she needs you.
YOUR CHOICES MATTER
Every response shapes Megan's fate. Build her trust or raise her suspicion. Find weapons or find secrets. The story branches based on your decisions, and your mistakes have consequences.
7 DIFFERENT ENDINGS
From escape to revelation to something far worse. Some endings are earned. Others are discovered. One will change everything you thought you knew.
A TWIST YOU WON'T SEE COMING
The person you're helping might not be who they claim to be. Pay attention. Question everything. The truth is hiding in plain sight.
