# DEADLIGHT — Neon Graveyard

DEADLIGHT is a single-player, first-person browser slasher set in a maintenance
yard after midnight. The original loop is deliberately short: enter the yard,
keep moving while a wave closes in, land melee hits, and restart after death.

## Play

Open `index.html` in a current Chrome, Safari, or Firefox browser. No install,
account, backend, or API key is needed.

- `W A S D` — move
- Mouse — look after pointer lock
- Left click — swing the weapon
- `Esc` — release the mouse
- `R` — restart after death

The HUD shows health, kills, and the current wave. The game starts with a clear
objective and a visible start button, then provides a fail/restart loop.

## Design notes

The scene uses a stylized night-shift maintenance yard rather than a direct
clone of a named arcade game. The pressure comes from movement and spacing:
silhouettes approach through pools of emergency light, while the player trades
position for melee range. The complete loop is designed to fit in roughly three
minutes and the first interaction is playable within the first minute.

## Technical notes

- Single-file static build: `index.html`
- Three.js is loaded from a public CDN at runtime
- No server-side state or credentials
- Desktop-first controls and responsive HUD
