Death by Refund

A Twisted Tale in Death by Refund

In Death by Refund, players step into the shoes of private detective Frederick Ugarte, a man with an unusual problem: two guns glued to his hands. This quirky setup leads him into a convoluted tale of hired help and shady dealings when a mysterious woman tasks him with retrieving stolen jewels from her abusive ex-husband. As Ugarte delves deeper into this gritty world, he must untangle a web of incompetence, deceit, and unexpected turns.

Minimalist Shooter Mechanics in a Gritty Setting

This 2D hard-boiled detective shooter distinguishes itself through its minimalist design. Players aren’t burdened by convoluted upgrade systems, skill points, or endless variations of weapons. Instead, Ugarte relies on two guns and his own instincts as he navigates levels filled with enemies and dialogue. The focus is squarely on raw shooting mechanics coupled with engaging narrative exchanges. Shoot, talk, and repeat: that's the essence of gameplay here.
