It is set at the Royal Palms Resort on Banoi, a ( fictional) tropical island off the coast of Papua New Guinea. Don't you hate it when that happens?ĭead Island is a Wide-Open Sandbox first-person survival horror game by Techland, makers of the Call of Juarez series, with action RPG elements (such as skill trees, random weapon drops, and heavy emphasis on 4-player co-op gameplay) very reminescent of Diablo or Borderlands. So you're on vacation, trying to get away from your hectic life back home and have some fun time with your family, when all of a sudden zombies show up.
