“After nearly three years bringing life (or should that be death?) to Davy, we couldn’t be happier to finally share Stupid Never Dies with the world,” said Hiroyuki Kobayashi, President of GPTRACK50. “As a new studio that has come together out of our passion and love for action games, being able to bring the genre we love to fellow action game fans is an achievement we hold in high esteem. We are truly grateful to everyone who has wishlisted the game, played the demo, and left feedback to help us improve the experience – we couldn’t have done it without you. We hope you enjoy Davy’s story, and have a stupid amount of fun!”

About Stupid Never Dies

Set in a monster-ruled otherworldly dungeon, Stupid Never Dies puts you in control of Davy, a timid zombie living at the very bottom of monster society. Defeat enemies, level up, and collect strange items to grow stronger on your quest to bring Julia, a frozen human girl, back to life. Steal enemy abilities, customize your undead body with bizarre upgrades, and experience fast-paced combat packed with innovation.

Key Features of Stupid Never Dies:

  • Fight Like a Zombie: The best defense is a good offence, according to Davy. Relentlessly attack enemies with reckless abandon – zombies don’t need to dodge if they can’t feel a punch! And with a flexible enemy targeting system, Davy can fight the hoards of enemies coming at him from every direction freely without being tied to a single target, keeping KOM’s army on their toes.
     
  • Blazing Fast Growth: What if you could play a 30+ hour ARPG but reach max level in just 30 minutes? Drawing inspiration from aspects of roguelike mechanics, every dungeon dive starts with Davy at level 1 but enemies defeated across previous dives increase growth rate – and XP gain – exponentially, resulting in a faster, more intense experience.
 
  • Eat Your Enemies: A zombie’s most famous attack is his chomp. With “Style Eat”, Davy not only repairs any damage his deathly body has taken, but absorbs the powers of whatever enemy he eats – werewolves, harpies, vampires, and more. With over 11 styles to devour, Davy can become the ultimate monster-munching machine!
     
  • (Body) Hack the Planet: Collect powerful Over Technology from each dive and visit Acelino’s shop to hack Davy’s body, modifying his arms, legs and head to unlock devastating powers.
 
  • Stupidity Beyond Belief: Interdimensional toilets, a robot vacuum cleaner you can ride, a bizarre cast of loveable characters, and a love story for the ages – there’s never a dull moment in Stupid Never Dies!


Stupid Never Dies is now available for PC via Steam and PlayStation 5, with a Japan release on October 22. The game is available for purchase as a Standard Edition for $49.99 USD, or as part of the Stupid Never Dies: Glorious Idiot Edition, which includes TickTock Teddies: Nonsense Overload Pack DLC for $59.99 USD. The TickTock Teddies: Nonsense Overload Pack DLC is available to purchase on Steam and PlayStation 5 for $11.99 USD.
