Deadlight is a 2012 sidescrolling survival horror cinematic platforming video game for Xbox and Microsoft Windows, developed by Tequila Works and published by Microsoft Studios.[3] It was released for Xbox (via Xbox Live Arcade) on August 1,[1] and for PC (via Steam) on October 25.[2] The game tells the story of Randall Wayne, a former park ranger who sets out to find his family in the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse. Intended as a throwback to the classic sidescrolling games of the 1980s and early 1990s, such as Prince of Persia, Another World and Flashback,[4] Deadlight received mixed reviews, with many critics praising the graphics, atmosphere and plot, but criticizing the game's brevity and linearity.
The game takes place in Seattle in 1986 after the near-total decimation of society following the outbreak of a virus that reanimates the dead. Randall Wayne, a park ranger from the town of Hope in Canada, is a survivor of the event and has since been separated from his family; his wife Shannon and daughter Lydia. Randall has come to Seattle because of reports that located within the city is the last remaining "Safe Point" on the Pacific Northwest, and he is convinced that this is where Shannon and Lydia have come. Accompanied by his friend and fellow park ranger, Ben Parker, Randall has since joined with a group of three other people; an elderly police officer named Sam and two twin sisters, Stella and Karla.
