About This Game

Escape Dead Island is a Survival-Mystery game set on the enigmatic island of Narapela after the events of the zombie outbreak of the original Dead Island. The story lets players unravel the origins of the zombie virus through the eyes of the would-be documentary journalist Cliff Calo. There are no superpowers to keep Cliff alive, just a few makeshift weapons against hordes of infected zombies. It will be integral to choosing wisely between stealth and combat at certain moments in the game.

Cliff Calo, son of wealthy media mogul Tom Calo, led a care-free life with little regard for the family business. However, when his father decides to hand over the company to his younger sister Heather, Cliff feels insulted and excluded. Knowing that his father desperately seeks an insight on the unexplained events on Banoi for his broadcasting channels, Cliff and his friends set sail to land the story that will prove his worth.

Being a top graduate and highly skilled in martial arts, Xian Mei was the first female recruit to join the People’s Liberation Army as part of their domestic crime squadron. She was sent undercover to the Royal Palms Resort on the Island of Banoi as part of a secret mission. Then the zombie outbreak happened and soon after she was spotted at neighbouring island Narapela…

The Island of Narapela is part of the Banoi Archipelago and located only a few miles from Banoi. Narapela is both a place and an adversary that jealously guards its secrets. As Cliff ventures deeper into the island, his adventure begins to become more and more distorted and unpredictable. Tear through a world that reacts to your every move and collect every clue you can: somewhere amid the madness lies the truth behind Dead Island’s apocalyptic outbreak.

This game is, unfortunately, just not that good. Exploring the island is mildly entertaining, but the writing is terrible, and playing the game involves backtracking through the same spaces a LOT of times, including a lot of running through featureless corridors. There are only a few enemy types, and once you learn their attack patterns they all stop being a meaningful threat. They try to do some psychological horror stuff. I thought the game might be going somewhere interesting with this, but it's VERY obvious early on that your character is suffering a serious mental break, so it doesn't really work. And the fact that the main character is an insufferable prick (and stays one throughout the game) makes it unlikely you'll end up invested in the character. And what actually prompted this bad review is that after 10 chapters of exploring the island, often being stealthy, the final chapter is an interminable corridor crawl through a mostly featureless void, punctuated by a ser...
