Hong Kong, 2032. Hannah Stone is a convicted murderer serving a life sentence until the Zombie Unit — an elite Hong Kong police squad — pulled her out to fight. A week on their operations uncovers something larger than any single mission.

Wanted: Dead is a hybrid slasher/shooter from veterans of Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive, blending third-person gunplay with sword-based melee combat and a bullet time system that bridges both. Hannah's moveset cycles between firearms, a katana and a grenade launcher with transitions designed to flow into each other rather than stop and switch. The bullet time mechanic slows incoming fire for a brief window, allowing players to reposition, counter or chain into melee. The game's difficulty is deliberately steep in the tradition of its inspirations. Between missions, the Zombie Unit gathers in their police precinct in sequences that contrast with the combat loop entirely — eating ramen, playing games at the arcade and exchanging dry banter. The story concerns a corporate conspiracy woven through Hong Kong's cyberpunk 2032 infrastructure. Boss fights demand pattern recognition and precise timing from a design lineage that traces back to the studio's earlier work.

Key Features: • Hybrid combat: switch fluidly between katana, firearms and grenade launcher in a single combo • Bullet time: slow incoming fire to counter, reposition or chain into melee attacks • Steep difficulty in the Ninja Gaiden tradition — pattern recognition and precise timing required • Between-mission downtime: ramen, arcades and squad banter as a deliberate tonal contrast • Hong Kong 2032 cyberpunk setting with a corporate conspiracy threading the whole campaign
