The game takes place on a tropical island that was once a popular vacation spot. Then came the zombie apocalypse, which completely transformed everything. Zombies have taken over the world, and the player can take control one of four characters as they fight zombies and fulfil objectives.

Many people assumed that Dying Light would be a Dead Island sequel when it was initially revealed. Despite the fact that this wasn't the case, in the end, the games are quite similar, and anyone who enjoyed Dying Light enough to be enthusiastic for the sequel would probably like Dead Island, as well.

When his wife goes missing, he sets out to find her, only to discover that things he's written about in his novels are starting to happen.
