Escape Dead Island: A Thrilling Survival-Mystery Adventure
Escape Dead Island is a 2014 survival-mystery adventure game developed by Fatshark and published by Deep Silver. It is a spin-off of the Dead Island series, and follows a new protagonist, Cliff Calo, as he investigates the unexplained events on the island of Banoi.
Story
Cliff Calo is a documentary filmmaker who sets sail to the island of Banoi to document the unexplained events that occurred there. Upon arriving on the island, he finds that not everything is as it seems. The island is overrun with zombies, and Cliff must fight for his survival while trying to uncover the truth behind the outbreak.
As Cliff explores the island, he discovers that there is more to the zombie outbreak than meets the eye. He learns that the outbreak was caused by a virus that was released by a secret organization known as the “Phoenix Corporation.” The Phoenix Corporation was experimenting with the virus in an attempt to create a biological weapon.
Cliff must now race against time to stop the Phoenix Corporation and prevent the virus from spreading to the rest of the world. He must also find a way to escape from the island, which is becoming increasingly overrun with zombies.
