Deadlight

Deadlight is a 2D Cinematic Survival horror Platformer released for Xbox Live Arcade. The game is set in the 1980’s in Seattle after an event that has destroyed the earth. Deadlight follows the journey of Randall Wayne, the survivor of the event, as he fights his way through a zombie-filled environment. The game may have survival horror aspects, most of us are familiar with, but developers insist that Deadlight is not just another zombie shooting game. In fact, the game features “puzzles” that players need to solve in order to avoid getting killed by zombies. Players have to run, climb and jump to avoid the zombies, or “Shadows” (the term used for the undead in the game), at all costs.
