Stupid Never Dies – 26 Minute Full Dungeon Run Gameplay
- On Wednesday, October 21, 2026, publisher GPTRACK50 releases the action RPG Stupid Never Dies on PlayStation 5 and Windows PC, developed by a studio founded by former Capcom producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi.
- Players control Davy, an undead protagonist fighting through a mall-based resistance in a roguelike structure designed to revive a human woman named Julia, though the repetitive dungeon crawling undermines the mechanic.
- Combat features a "Stupid Parry" mechanic that reduces damage taken rather than preventing it, and Davy can absorb monster powers by finishing enemies, though reviewers note the action feels sluggish throughout.
- The game's narrative has drawn scrutiny for employing the "woman in refrigerators" trope by centering the plot on Julia, a deceased woman, which critics describe as uncomfortable and dehumanizing.
- Early reviews assigned the $39.99 title a 3/10 score, describing it as a "foundationally irredeemable" slog due to sluggish combat, repetitive structure, and uncomfortable storytelling that wastes design potential.
