Deadlight

Deadlight is a cancelled PS2, Xbox, and GameCube game by Blue52 Games Limited. It was to be a horror game based on a ship.

Plot
You play as Dan McCormick, who was washed ashore on a trip to an offshore oil rig. He is saved when he climbs aboard a nearby ship: the legendary SS Hyperion! This ocean liner went missing twenty years prior. Now you'll see why.



Gameplay
Deadlight differs from similar game Cold Fear in that it was to be in First Person view. The intention was for this game to be the opposite of their previous game Stolen. In that game you hide in the shadows; in Deadlight you must avoid the shadows.

The sea monsters give off bioluminescence, but yet are harmed by the light. Lighting lanterns will ward them off. Restoring electricity to the lights will keep them away. The main goal of the game is to get off the ship before you are eaten.

Cancellation
Deadlight was cancelled due to no publishers picking it up. Blue52 went out of business shortly after.

All that was made was a demo made in six weeks.
