A newborn falls. You leap after it. Time freezes.

What awaits you is not judgment in life or death, but something in between.

DeadWeight: A Lullaby is a psychological narrative adventure that blends interactive storytelling with philosophical and metaphysical themes.

You play as Elian, a not-so-ordinary construction worker who is suddenly thrown into an impossible moment. A falling infant, a split second decision, and a reality that refuses to move forward.
