A documentarian's dream is to uncover a scandal or significant story and rip off the shrouds of secrecy and obscurity that cloak it, exposing it to the harsh light of public scrutiny. You have long hoped to find a story that's compelling and important enough to change the way people think — and possibly change the world. You've finally found a story worthy of your complete attention, but you might lose your sanity, and possibly even your life, in the process. A viral outbreak has attacked the inhabitants of the island of Narapela, leading to an emergence of infected zombie hordes. No one has any definitive answers about the outbreak and you can tell upon arriving on the island that revealing the truth won't be as simple as conducting a few polite interviews.Sharpen your investigative skills and hone your tools of perception in Escape Dead Island — a mystery-based action-adventure that takes place on the island of Narapela during the zombie outbreak of Dead Island. Play as Cliff Calo, tearing around the constantly shifting island in hopes of determining the origins of the virus while preserving your life in the process. As you venture deeper into the heart of the island, the environment becomes more distorted and unpredictable, leaving you with more unanswered questions each time you arrive at a tentative answer. Even time itself fails to be constant, seeming to loop and repeat in strange ways that make you question your sanity. Switch between fighting and stealth tactics, which have a massive gameplay impact thanks to sound-detection AI and many opportunities to use the environment to gain the upper hand against hordes of the undead. Without superpowers or high-quality technological gadgets at your disposal, you'll have to rely on a few makeshift weapons and your wits to stay alive. As you move through the mysterious island, stay aware that each action of yours will result in a reaction, since the environment responds intelligently to your every move. Feel as if you're truly peering through the eyes of Cliff Calo thanks to the vibrant comic-styled visuals, which lend an edgy quality to each scene. Will you solve the mystery of Dead Island or will you just become another zombie, joining the growing masses of the glassy-eyed infected?
