'Dead Eats' is a game where you play without directly attacking the rushing zombies. In other words, it is a roguelike that focuses on running away rather than attacking. Therefore, the game emphasizes progressing while avoiding all the zombies during the process of delivering chicken.

Players cannot kill zombies. However, the zombies show significant interest in the chicken being delivered. Therefore, you must throw the chicken to lure the zombies away and create an escape route. But the more chicken you throw, the lower your delivery reward becomes. You must constantly make choices between immediate survival and higher profits.

There are 8 delivery locations in each zone. You clear the stage by completing all deliveries and safely returning to the central headquarters. Upon clearing, you will receive the money you have earned so far, as well as additional tips based on your evaluation.
