Introduction

​​

In this project, I set out to create a close melee combat experience inspired by Dead Island 2, set on the iconic and historically rich Alcatraz Island.

​

I drew heavy inspiration from games like Back 4 Blood, Left 4 Dead, Dead Island 2, and other close-combat campaign experiences. These titles motivated me to build a post-apocalyptic world that feels both uneasy and compelling to explore.
