The game starts very exciting. We receive an emergency call after a search troop is missing. All we can see is that they were killed. I can’t say why but the scenes remember me of killzone 

Well after we received the emergency call we’ve to find out what’s been going wrong. And of course. You are on your own. It’s an abandoned vessel – or not? We’ve to find it out. So let’s go. Armed with a colt we’ve to go along at the ships rail and you can feel and see a great feature of the game. The sea swashes water on the rail and you’ve to be careful so you won’t be flushed over the rail. The graphics are ok. The effects have a bearing on your character so it’s not easy to navigate on deck.

The camera angels change according to circumstances which is not the best way to navigate. Sometimes you’ll find yourself unoriented but not that often. The AI isn’t clever (honestly which zombie would be intelligent?). The atmosphere is good but don’t expect too much. I don’t know but I’m not afraid of the zombies. I usually lose my temper because of the camera angles. Further you’ve to run the same passages again and again. In my opinion this is a little bit annoying but to be honest – it’s a ship. Not that big but it’s enough to go you insane (maybe not – depends on your attitude).

Thank goodness you’ll change the location after 1 hour of playing. But don’t think things are getting better. In my opinion the game is very linear. Further on the swashing sea will become so annoying. The control of your character doesn’t become easier even when you change to first person look. Far from it! You’ll walk slower- too slow after my fancy.

And the game starts again. You’ve to find Anna and to fight against some zombies and other creatures.

I haven’t completed the game yet and I’m not sure whether I’d complete it or not. I’ll see. Hope you enjoy to read my article.
