Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.14/day in the week to Aug 17 → 0.29/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Classic Survival Horror Emerges from the Depths
Heavy Metal Death Can is a Retro Inspired Survival-Horror game set on a submarine in an alternate history version of late 70s Sweden. Trapped in the depths of the Norwegian Sea you must fight for survival against the terrifying Sludge which has possessed your crew mates and turned them into horrific zombies. Look for survivors and uncover the truth behind the madness.
A Return to True Survival Horror
Step into a claustrophobic, rust-ridden nightmare inspired by genre-defining classics of the PS1 era. With limited ammo, fixed camera angles, and analog dread, every creak of the hull might be your last.
Fixed Cameras. Real Tension.
No handholding. No over-the-shoulder comfort. Your fear is earned.
Inventory Matters.
Manage dwindling supplies, makeshift keys, and enigmatic keepsakes from a submerged past. Every bullet counts—and you will never have enough.
Retro Revival Aesthetics.
The game’s art style draws inspiration from the vibrant backdrops of late ‘90s horror and adventure games, reimagined with modern rendering technologies.
A Morbid Can of Death
Discover the chilling secrets behind the incident on the vessel HMS Domherren. Each corridor reveals fragments of a buried conspiracy... and something not quite human.
Alternate History. Nordic Noir Meets Deep Sea Horror.
Immerse yourself in a Swedish setting where otherwise cozy cultural staples are contrasted with the metallic callousness of industrial brutality.
A Lovable cast of survivors.
Along the way, you'll encounter other survivors—like the enigmatic Milton and the nihilistic Captain Olof—each with their own agendas and haunted pasts. Trust is scarce, but cooperation is the only way home.
Soundtrack from the Depths.
Drenched in distorted guitar, analog synth and unsettling silence. Every note is a nail in your coffin.
Features:
Old-school terror meets Swedish submarine surrealism in this survival horror in the style of early console classics.
Fixed camera angles and tank controls (with modern options) lend a haunting atmosphere to the game.
Uncover a twisting narrative through uneasy alliances and strange encounters.
A nostalgic visual style inspired by '90s horror games, enhanced with modern rendering technologies.
Unique Late 1970s Swedish Naval setting gives you a creepy sense of fauxstalgia for a place in time that never quite was.

complimenti veramente ai developer per questo indie, per avere soltanto un mese mi ha dato davvero ottime impressioni come survival horror, ottima pure la difficoltà di gioco e soprattutto se siete appassionati di puro heavy metal è UN MUST, non vedo l'ora di scoprire le novità che avete in serbo perché spero veramente tanto di arrivare alla fine e anche di sapere se ci sarà un sequel 😁
Decent game. Albeit a little short. Good homage to oldschool resident evil games.

Heavy Metal Death Can is a modern survival horror classic! My Review: https://youtu.be/8xZCTrt1Xpg?is=3NCFUV2MlM3Y3nB5
《重金属死亡罐头》是一款早期《生化危机》风格的生存恐怖游戏。玩家扮演冷战时期的一名瑞典潜艇兵,在失去动力的深海潜艇中对抗被某种病毒感染的僵尸艇员和怪物们,同时也要试着将潜艇动力恢复以求得一线生机。 在游戏机制方面,本作几乎完全复刻了早期《生化危机》的经典要素,比如背包管理、固定场景视角、道具解谜等等,基本上就是旧瓶装新酒的意思。不过,作为该独立游戏制作公司的第一款作品,本作在游戏体量上肯定是远不及那些经典的大作的,玩家想必对这一点肯定是有心理预期的,毕竟游戏地图只是一艘潜艇而已。不过,正因为游戏地图小巧,所以省去了许多此类游戏为人诟病的绕路、找路流程,三层潜艇之间用竖井连接,使得游戏地图变得立体,有助于玩家快速到达各个位置。 游戏难度有些高,尤其是对于我这种键鼠(本作用不到鼠标)玩家来说简直是折磨。游戏中途甚至可能因为弹尽粮绝而卡关,这一点应该在后面会被修复吧。 总得来说,本作在游戏机制、环境渲染、剧情铺垫三个方面都不错,作为一款处女作、一款《生化危机》的精神续作,确实算得上是合格的。对这种“老学校”的生存恐怖游戏感兴趣的朋友们可以入手。
Пушка. Жаль, что которкая.
Just awful and insulting
Heavy Metal Death Can was an awesome experience from start to finish. If your a fan of the classic Resident Evil games , you'll definitely love this. The game has that same tense, creepy atmosphere where your constantly on edge, solving puzzle's, and trying to survive 10/10.
final boss needs rebalance
Sick ass music and a cool grimey oil vibe to go along with a solid survival horror experience. Puzzles were easy enough for a bozo like me to figure out without looking up anything so that's a plus!
Nice and short survival horror game. The ship puzzle was a bit annoying and just had to guess the direction for 2 of the ships as the hints didn't actually help
