About Dead Headway

Dead Headway is a realistic first-person shooter that runs in your browser. It is 2:14 AM in Port Calder and a private army called Tallow Group holds Halvern Square station.

There are no waves. You go down once and move through the station at your own pace: the island platform, the north service wing with its crew, relay and pump rooms, both track tunnels, the stalled 9 train and the mezzanine with the fare gates. Throw the traction breaker, take the event recorder from the train cab and leave by the street stairs. If you go down, the raid is over.

Guards patrol until they see or hear you. Every bullet is a real projectile with drop and drag: it goes through wooden crates and sheet metal, skips off concrete at shallow angles, and concrete always stops it.

Computer: WASD or arrow keys to move, mouse to aim, click to shoot, Q or right click to zoom in, R to reload, E to use, F for the flashlight, Shift to sprint, C to crouch, Space to jump and climb, G for a grenade, 1 and 2 or the wheel to switch between your long gun and your sidearm. Phone: left stick to move, drag the right side to look, and labeled buttons for the rest.

Nine guns: six long guns (assault rifle, submachine gun, pump shotgun, sawn-off, suppressed bolt-action rifle, .50 rifle) and three sidearms (pistol, revolver, heavy pistol). Health comes back on its own when nothing has hit you for a few seconds.
